Deutz (KHD) D 8005 or International Harvester Farmall 706?
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 International Harvester Farmall 706 is ahead on top speed and PTO speeds; the Deutz D 8005 is ahead on drive.
- The International Harvester Farmall 706 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Deutz D 8005 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
- The International Harvester Farmall 706 suits road haulage better on this data: 13% (3.5 km/h / 2.2 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The International Harvester Farmall 706 has 13% more top speed (3.5 km/h / 2.2 mph) than the Deutz D 8005 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester Farmall 706 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Deutz D 8005 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz D 8005 is available with four-wheel drive; the International Harvester Farmall 706 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, 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.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 and PTO independence.
