Deutz (KHD) D 5006 or Porsche-Diesel Master 408?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level. On features, the Deutz D 5006 is ahead on top speed and drive.
- The Deutz D 5006 suits road haulage better on this data: 28% (5.5 km/h / 3.4 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 Porsche-Diesel Master 408 is 23% heavier (455 kg / 1,003 lb) than the Deutz D 5006 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz D 5006 has 28% more top speed (5.5 km/h / 3.4 mph) than the Porsche-Diesel Master 408 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz D 5006 is available with four-wheel drive; the Porsche-Diesel Master 408 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz D 5006 is newer: production began 10 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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.
- 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, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
