Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) or Ford 4835?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Ford 4835: hydraulic flow, three-point lift and maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on forward gears and PTO speeds.
- The Ford 4835 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Ford 4835 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 40% (12.7 L/min / 3.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 21% (500 kg / 1,102 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Ford 4835 suits road haulage better on this data: 30% (1,200 kg / 2,646 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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 Ford 4835 has 40% more hydraulic flow (12.7 L/min / 3.4 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 4835 has 21% more lift (500 kg / 1,102 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 4835 is 55% heavier (1,380 kg / 3,042 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 4835 has 30% higher maximum permissible mass (1,200 kg / 2,646 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 4835 has 50% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 4835 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Ford 4835 is newer: production began 14 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, a creeper range and PTO independence.
