BUKH 554 (Super) or Dexheimer Allrad 345 N?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 554 (Super) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Allrad 345 N has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Dexheimer Allrad 345N suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 28% (9.0 L/min / 2.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Dexheimer Allrad 345N has 28% more hydraulic flow (9.0 L/min / 2.4 gpm) than the BUKH 554 (Super) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The BUKH 554 (Super) is 53% heavier (865 kg / 1,907 lb) than the Dexheimer Allrad 345N (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Dexheimer Allrad 345N is available with four-wheel drive; the BUKH 554 (Super) is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Dexheimer Allrad 345N is newer: production began 13 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 554 (Super) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Allrad 345 N has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 554 (Super): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Bukh Super 554”); the Allrad 345 N: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Dexheimer ALLRAD 345 N”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
