Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) or Hürlimann D-470 (A)?
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-470 (A) is ahead on forward gears and PTO speeds; the Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) is ahead on top speed.
- The Hürlimann D-470 (A) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) 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 “similar machines”. 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 Hürlimann D-470 (A) has 50% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Hürlimann D-470 (A) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann D-470 (A) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) does not (as stated by the sources).
- 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 hydraulic flow (both pump flow, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-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 D 6507 (C): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr D 6507”); the D-470 (A): lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann H 470”) — 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.
