Fahr D 25 or Güldner A 3 KTA (Burgund-T)?
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 Güldner A 3 KTA (Burgund-T) is ahead on forward gears; the Fahr D 25 is ahead on top speed.
- The Fahr D 25 suits road haulage better on this data: 16% (3.2 km/h / 2.0 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 Fahr D 25 is 23% heavier (336 kg / 741 lb) than the Güldner A 3 KTA (Burgund-T) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Güldner A 3 KTA (Burgund-T) has 60% more forward gears (3 gears) than the Fahr D 25 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fahr D 25 has 16% more top speed (3.2 km/h / 2.0 mph) than the Güldner A 3 KTA (Burgund-T) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Güldner A 3 KTA (Burgund-T) is newer: production began 11 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 PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the D 25: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fahr D 25”); the A 3 KTA (Burgund-T): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Güldner A 3 KTA Burgund”) — 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, a creeper range and PTO speeds.
