Deutz (KHD) F1L514/2-N or International Harvester D-215?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the F1L514/2-N has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the D-215 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
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 F1L514/2-N is 13% heavier (157 kg / 346 lb) than the International Harvester D-215 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester D-215 is newer: production began 6 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, 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 difference is under the 25% 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.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is dependent.
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the F1L514/2-N has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the D-215 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the F1L514/2-N: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz F1L 514/2-N”); the D-215: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “McCormick D-215”) — 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, a creeper range and PTO speeds.
