Deutz-Fahr D 2807 or WHITE 2-30?

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 2-30 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: 40% (10.0 L/min / 2.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
  • The WHITE 2-30 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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 Deutz-Fahr D 2807 has 40% more hydraulic flow (10.0 L/min / 2.6 gpm) than the WHITE 2-30 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).

  • 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 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.
  • 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 2-30 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 D 2807: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr D 2807”); the 2-30: lift 610 mm behind the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “White 2-30”) — 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
