Deutz-Fahr DX 3.65 or Deutz (KHD) Intrac 2004?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the DX 3.65 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Intrac 2004 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
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 Intrac 2004 has 11% more hydraulic flow (4.5 L/min / 1.2 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr DX 3.65 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 3.65 has 38% more lift (900 kg / 1,984 lb) than the Deutz Intrac 2004 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 3.65 has 100% more forward gears (8 gears) than the Deutz Intrac 2004 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 3.65 is newer: production began 9 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, 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 figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the DX 3.65 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Intrac 2004 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, a creeper range and PTO independence.
