Güldner G 45 A (S) or Hanomag R 45 A/AE?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the G 45 A (S) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the R 45 A/AE has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Güldner G 45 A (S) suits road haulage better on this data: 16% (2.7 km/h / 1.7 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 Hanomag R 45 A/AE is 34% heavier (815 kg / 1,797 lb) than the Güldner G 45 A (S) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Güldner G 45 A (S) has 60% more forward gears (3 gears) than the Hanomag R 45 A/AE (both forward gears, as stated by the source).

- The Güldner G 45 A (S) is newer: production began 15 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, 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 G 45 A (S) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the R 45 A/AE has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the G 45 A (S): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Güldner G 45A”); the R 45 A/AE: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hanomag R 45 A/AE”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, a creeper range, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
