Güldner G 40A (S) or Güldner G 40 W?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the G 40A (S) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the G 40 W has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Güldner G 40A (S) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 40% (670 kg / 1,477 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
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 40A (S) is 40% heavier (670 kg / 1,477 lb) than the Güldner G 40 W (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Güldner G 40A (S) is available with four-wheel drive; the Güldner G 40 W is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- 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 a creeper range: every machine offers one.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- 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 G 40A (S) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the G 40 W 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, three-point lift and maximum permissible mass.
