DEUTZ-ALLIS 9150 or Steyr 8165 a?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 9150 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8165 a has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The DEUTZ-ALLIS 9150 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 81% (40.5 L/min / 10.7 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 DEUTZ-ALLIS 9150 has 81% more hydraulic flow (40.5 L/min / 10.7 gpm) than the Steyr 8165a (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The DEUTZ-ALLIS 9150 is 10% heavier (558 kg / 1,230 lb) than the Steyr 8165a (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The DEUTZ-ALLIS 9150 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Steyr 8165a does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 9150 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8165 a 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 9150: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Allis 9150”); the 8165 a: lift through the full range at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Steyr 8165”) — 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 and a creeper range.
