Fiat 300 (DT) or Güldner A 3 K Burgund?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Güldner A 3 K Burgund: three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears and PTO independence. On features, the Fiat 300 (DT) is ahead on top speed and drive.
- The Güldner A 3 K Burgund suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: an independent PTO.
- The Güldner A 3 K Burgund suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 38% (250 kg / 551 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Fiat 300 (DT) suits road haulage better on this data: 34% (6.4 km/h / 4.0 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.
