Deutz-Fahr DX 50 V or Fiat 470 (V/DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the DX 50 V has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 470 (V/DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fiat 470 (V/DT) suits road haulage better on this data: 14% (3.0 km/h / 1.9 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 Deutz-Fahr DX 50V is 11% heavier (155 kg / 342 lb) than the Fiat 470 (V/DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 470 (V/DT) has 14% more top speed (3.0 km/h / 1.9 mph) than the Deutz-Fahr DX 50V (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- 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 power at the PTO shaft: the DX 50 V has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 470 (V/DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the DX 50 V: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr DX 50 V”); the 470 (V/DT): lift through the full range 610 mm behind the ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fiat 470 V/470 V/DT”) — 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
