Ford 3000 Super Dexta/dexta (Typ: 6X/6Y) or Güldner G 45 (S)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 3000 Super Dexta/dexta (Typ: 6X/6Y) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the G 45 (S) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Güldner G 45 (S) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 33% (472 kg / 1,041 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 45 (S) has 33% more lift (472 kg / 1,041 lb) than the Ford 3000 Super Dexta/dexta (Typ: 6X/6Y) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Güldner G 45 (S) is 10% heavier (199 kg / 439 lb) than the Ford 3000 Super Dexta/dexta (Typ: 6X/6Y) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Güldner G 45 (S) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Ford 3000 Super Dexta/dexta (Typ: 6X/6Y) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Ford 3000 Super Dexta/dexta (Typ: 6X/6Y) is available with four-wheel drive; the Güldner G 45 (S) is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 3000 Super Dexta/dexta (Typ: 6X/6Y) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the G 45 (S) 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 and PTO independence.
