Fahr 22 or Kramer KB 22 C?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level.
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 decides it, question by question?

| Which may carry more ballast and load? | 2,200 kg (4,850 lb)Traktorenlexikon, “Fahr T 22” | — | No figureNo call on maximum permissible mass: no figure on record for the KB 22 C. |
| Which has the wider choice of gears? | 3 to 5Traktorenlexikon, “Fahr T 22” | 5Traktorenlexikon, “Kramer KB 22 C” | EvenEven on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap. |
| Which offers a creeper range? | — | — | No figureNo call on a creeper range: not stated for the 22 and the KB 22 C. |
| Which is faster on the road? | 8.0 km/h (5.0 mph) to 19.0 km/h (11.8 mph)Traktorenlexikon, “Fahr T 22” | 20 km/h (12.4 mph)Traktorenlexikon, “Kramer KB 22 C” | EvenEven on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call. |
| Which offers more PTO speeds? | 540 rpmTraktorenlexikon, “Fahr T 22” | 528 rpmTraktorenlexikon, “Kramer KB 22 C” | No figureNo call on PTO speeds: no standard PTO speed stated for the KB 22 C. |
| Which PTO runs independently of the ground drive? | dependent (stops with the clutch)Traktorenlexikon, “Fahr T 22” | — | No figureNo call on PTO independence: not stated for the KB 22 C. |
| Which drives on both axles? | 2WDTraktorenlexikon, “Fahr T 22” | 2WDTraktorenlexikon, “Kramer KB 22 C” | EvenEven on drive: all two-wheel drive. |
| Which is newer, and what about parts? | 1940–1942 | 1951–1954 | Ahead (a fact, not an advantage)The Kramer KB 22 C is newer: production began 11 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts. |
What does this mean in plain words?
- The Fahr 22 is 61% heavier (710 kg / 1,565 lb) than the Kramer KB 22 C (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Kramer KB 22 C 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 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 difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
