Ford 1910 (A) or Hermann Lanz D 634?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 1910 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the D 634 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Hermann Lanz D 634 suits road haulage better on this data: 41% (8.1 km/h / 5.0 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Hermann Lanz D 634 is 29% heavier (401 kg / 884 lb) than the Ford 1910 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 1910 (A) has 50% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Hermann Lanz D 634 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Hermann Lanz D 634 has 41% more top speed (8.1 km/h / 5.0 mph) than the Ford 1910 (A) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 1910 (A) is available with four-wheel drive; the Hermann Lanz D 634 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Ford 1910 (A) is newer: production began 9 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 1910 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the D 634 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- 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, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
