Fiat 250 (DT) or Güldner G 25?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Güldner G 25: three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears. On features, the Fiat 250 (DT) is ahead on drive.
- The Güldner G 25 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 120% (720 kg / 1,587 lb) more three-point lift.
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 Güldner G 25 has 120% more lift (720 kg / 1,587 lb) than the Fiat 250 (DT) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Güldner G 25 is 45% heavier (550 kg / 1,213 lb) than the Fiat 250 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Güldner G 25 has 33% more forward gears (2 gears) than the Fiat 250 (DT) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 250 (DT) is available with four-wheel drive; the Güldner G 25 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Fiat 250 (DT) is newer: production began 5 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- 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.
