Deutz-Fahr DX 3.70 or Landini R-6500 (DT)?
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 Deutz-Fahr DX 3.70 is ahead on top speed.
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 3.70 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 “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 DX 3.70 is 42% heavier (930 kg / 2,050 lb) than the Landini R-6500 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 3.70 has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Landini R-6500 (DT) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 3.70 is newer: production began 11 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 three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, 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, 1000 rpm).
- 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
