Deutz (KHD) F3L 514/54 or Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial?
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 Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial is ahead on forward gears.
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 F3L 514/54 is 63% heavier (970 kg / 2,138 lb) than the Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial has 40% more forward gears (2 gears) than the Deutz F3L 514/54 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- 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 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.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the F3L 514/54: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz F3L 514/54”); the D-70 Super-Spezial: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann D 70 SSP”) — 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, a creeper range and PTO speeds.
