Fahr D 131 W or Fahr D 132 W?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Fahr D 132W: maximum permissible mass.
- The Fahr D 132W suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (400 kg / 882 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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 Fahr D 132W is 11% heavier (140 kg / 309 lb) than the Fahr D 131W (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fahr D 132W has 25% higher maximum permissible mass (400 kg / 882 lb) than the Fahr D 131W (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- 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 a creeper range: every machine offers one.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is dependent.
- Even on drive: all two-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.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow and PTO speeds.
