Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) or Leyland 270?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C): three-point lift. It is also ahead on top speed and drive.
- The Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 32% (586 kg / 1,292 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
- The Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) suits road haulage better on this data: 15% (4.0 km/h / 2.5 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 6507 (C) has 32% more lift (586 kg / 1,292 lb) than the Leyland 270 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) has 15% more top speed (4.0 km/h / 2.5 mph) than the Leyland 270 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) is available with four-wheel drive; the Leyland 270 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) is newer: production began 9 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 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 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).
- 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.
