Güldner A 3 K Burgund or Steyr 188 n?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Steyr 188 n: three-point lift. It is also ahead on top speed. On features, the Güldner A 3 K Burgund is ahead on PTO independence.
- The Güldner A 3 K Burgund suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: an independent PTO.
- The Steyr 188 n suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 22% (200 kg / 441 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Steyr 188 n 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Steyr 188 n has 22% more lift (200 kg / 441 lb) than the Güldner A 3 K Burgund (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 188 n has 34% more top speed (6.4 km/h / 4.0 mph) than the Güldner A 3 K Burgund (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Güldner A 3 K Burgund has an independent PTO; the Steyr 188 n’s is dependent (stops with the clutch).
- The Steyr 188 n is newer: production began 6 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- 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 speeds.
