Fiat 25 R 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. On features, the Kramer KB 22 C is ahead on top speed; the Fiat 25 R is ahead on drive.
- The Fiat 25 R suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 36% (425 kg / 937 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The Kramer KB 22 C suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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 Fiat 25 R is 36% heavier (425 kg / 937 lb) than the Kramer KB 22 C (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Kramer KB 22 C has 33% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Fiat 25 R (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 25 R is available with four-wheel drive; the Kramer KB 22 C 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 forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
