Deutz-Fahr DX 6.50 A or WHITE 2-135?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the DX 6.50 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2-135 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 WHITE 2-135 is 17% heavier (953 kg / 2,101 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr DX 6.50A (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 6.50A offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the WHITE 2-135 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 6.50A is available with four-wheel drive; the WHITE 2-135 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 6.50A is newer: production began 7 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 independence: every PTO is independent.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the DX 6.50 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2-135 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 6.50 A: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr DX 6.50”); the 2-135: lift 610 mm behind the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “White 2-135”) — 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.
