DEUTZ-ALLIS 8070 or Steyr 9170 a?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 8070 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 9170 a has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Steyr 9170 a suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) more top speed.
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 DEUTZ-ALLIS 8070 is 16% heavier (1,058 kg / 2,332 lb) than the Steyr 9170 a (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 9170 a has 60% more forward gears (12 gears) than the DEUTZ-ALLIS 8070 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 9170 a has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the DEUTZ-ALLIS 8070 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 9170 a offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the DEUTZ-ALLIS 8070 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Steyr 9170 a is newer: production began 8 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 8070 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 9170 a has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
