Deutz-Fahr D 2807 or SOMECA 300 (TD)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the D 2807 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 300 (TD) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr D 2807 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 276% (25.7 L/min / 6.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 192% (1,250 kg / 2,756 lb) more three-point lift.
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-Fahr D 2807 has 276% more hydraulic flow (25.7 L/min / 6.8 gpm) than the SOMECA 300 (TD) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).

- 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 speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the D 2807 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 300 (TD) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
