Deutz (KHD) D 6005 or Leyland 262?
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 Leyland 262 is ahead on top speed; the Deutz D 6005 is ahead on drive.
- The Leyland 262 suits road haulage better on this data: 11% (3.0 km/h / 1.9 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 Leyland 262 is 17% heavier (445 kg / 981 lb) than the Deutz D 6005 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Leyland 262 has 11% more top speed (3.0 km/h / 1.9 mph) than the Deutz D 6005 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz D 6005 is available with four-wheel drive; the Leyland 262 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Leyland 262 is newer: production began 9 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 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.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the D 6005: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz D 6005”); the 262: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Leyland 262”) — 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, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
