Deutz-Fahr DX 6.10 or Hürlimann 909 XT?
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 Hürlimann 909 XT is ahead on forward gears.
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 6.10 is 10% heavier (450 kg / 992 lb) than the Hürlimann 909 XT (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann 909 XT has 150% more forward gears (27 gears) than the Deutz-Fahr DX 6.10 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann 909 XT is newer: production began 12 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 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 three-point lift: the DX 6.10: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr DX 6.10”); the 909 XT: lift through the full range at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann XT 909”) — 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
