Fendt Farmer 201 S or International Harvester 464?
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 Fendt Farmer 201 S is ahead on forward gears and drive; the International Harvester 464 is ahead on top speed and PTO speeds.
- The International Harvester 464 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 540 rpm.
- The International Harvester 464 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (6.0 km/h / 3.7 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 International Harvester 464 is 15% heavier (312 kg / 688 lb) than the Fendt Farmer 201 S (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 201 S has 63% more forward gears (5 gears) than the International Harvester 464 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 464 has 20% more top speed (6.0 km/h / 3.7 mph) than the Fendt Farmer 201 S (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 464 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Fendt Farmer 201 S does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Fendt Farmer 201 S is available with four-wheel drive; the International Harvester 464 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- 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.
- 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
