Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) or SAME Explorer 65 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the SAME Explorer 65 (DT): hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears.
- The SAME Explorer 65 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 15% (4.7 L/min / 1.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 43% (1,030 kg / 2,271 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 SAME Explorer 65 (DT) has 15% more hydraulic flow (4.7 L/min / 1.2 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Explorer 65 (DT) has 43% more lift (1,030 kg / 2,271 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Explorer 65 (DT) has 50% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Deutz-Fahr D 6507 (C) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
