Deutz (KHD) F4L 514/4 or Fahr D 60 L?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Deutz F4L 514/4: maximum permissible mass. On features, the Fahr D 60L is ahead on 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 Fahr D 60L is 13% heavier (410 kg / 904 lb) than the Deutz F4L 514/4 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz F4L 514/4 has 38% higher maximum permissible mass (1,500 kg / 3,307 lb) than the Fahr D 60L (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Fahr D 60L has 16% more top speed (4.5 km/h / 2.8 mph) than the Deutz F4L 514/4 (both top speed forward, 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 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 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.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, a creeper range and PTO independence.
