Deutz (KHD) D 13006 A or Steyr 8140 (a)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the D 13006 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8140 (a) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz D 13006A suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 91% (2,000 kg / 4,409 lb) more three-point lift.
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 D 13006A has 91% more lift (2,000 kg / 4,409 lb) than the Steyr 8140 (a) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 8140 (a) offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Deutz D 13006A does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Steyr 8140 (a) is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% 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.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the D 13006 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8140 (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, maximum permissible mass, forward gears and a creeper range.
