Deutz (KHD) D 7006 or Deutz (KHD) F4L 514/5?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Deutz D 7006: maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on forward gears, PTO independence and drive.
- The Deutz D 7006 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: an independent PTO.
- The Deutz D 7006 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
- The Deutz D 7006 suits road haulage better on this data: 11% (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 “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 7006 has 11% higher maximum permissible mass (500 kg / 1,102 lb) than the Deutz F4L 514/5 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz D 7006 has 29% more forward gears (2 gears) than the Deutz F4L 514/5 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz D 7006 has an independent PTO; the Deutz F4L 514/5’s is dependent (stops with the clutch).
- The Deutz D 7006 is available with four-wheel drive; the Deutz F4L 514/5 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz D 7006 is newer: production began 14 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.
- No call on three-point lift: the sources do not state where the lift was measured, so the difference is not a reliable call.
- 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.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, a creeper range and PTO speeds.
