Deutz (KHD) D 25.2 or International Harvester D-219?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the D 25.2 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the D-219 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The International Harvester D-219 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 22% (3.5 L/min / 0.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Deutz D 25.2 suits road haulage better on this data: 18% (350 kg / 772 lb) more maximum permissible mass and 11% (2.0 km/h / 1.2 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.

- Even on a creeper range: every machine offers one.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is dependent.
- Even on drive: all two-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 D 25.2 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the D-219 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
