Eicher 3133 or OLIVER 2655?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the OLIVER 2655: hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on top speed. On features, the Eicher 3133 is ahead on PTO speeds.
- The Eicher 3133 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 540 rpm.
- The OLIVER 2655 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 53% (22.3 L/min / 5.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The OLIVER 2655 suits road haulage better on this data: 21% (6.5 km/h / 4.0 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 OLIVER 2655 has 53% more hydraulic flow (22.3 L/min / 5.9 gpm) than the Eicher 3133 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The OLIVER 2655 is 62% heavier (3,454 kg / 7,615 lb) than the Eicher 3133 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The OLIVER 2655 has 21% more top speed (6.5 km/h / 4.0 mph) than the Eicher 3133 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Eicher 3133 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the OLIVER 2655 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Eicher 3133 is newer: production began 6 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 forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
