Deutz (KHD) D 3005 or Massey Ferguson MF 130?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Deutz D 3005: maximum permissible mass.
- The Deutz D 3005 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (500 kg / 1,102 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “similar machines”. 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 3005 is 24% heavier (315 kg / 694 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 130 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz D 3005 has 20% higher maximum permissible mass (500 kg / 1,102 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 130 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- 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 figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- 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 three-point lift: the D 3005: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz D 3005”); the MF 130: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Massey Ferguson MF 130”) — 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, hydraulic flow and a creeper range.
