Güldner G 35 A (S) or SAME Aurora 45 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Güldner G 35 A (S): three-point lift. It is also ahead on PTO speeds. On features, the SAME Aurora 45 (DT) is ahead on top speed.
- The Güldner G 35 A (S) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Güldner G 35 A (S) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 11% (150 kg / 331 lb) more three-point lift.
- The SAME Aurora 45 (DT) suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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 Güldner G 35 A (S) has 11% more lift (150 kg / 331 lb) than the SAME Aurora 45 (DT) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Güldner G 35 A (S) is 33% heavier (535 kg / 1,179 lb) than the SAME Aurora 45 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Aurora 45 (DT) has 25% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Güldner G 35 A (S) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Güldner G 35 A (S) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the SAME Aurora 45 (DT) does not (as stated by the sources).
- 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 forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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.
