Hanomag C 220 or SOMECA SOM-271?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the C 220 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the SOM-271 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Hanomag C 220 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 75% (6.0 L/min / 1.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The SOMECA SOM-271 suits road haulage better on this data: 16% (3.2 km/h / 2.0 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 Hanomag C 220 has 75% more hydraulic flow (6.0 L/min / 1.6 gpm) than the SOMECA SOM-271 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Hanomag C 220 is 47% heavier (440 kg / 970 lb) than the SOMECA SOM-271 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The SOMECA SOM-271 has 16% more top speed (3.2 km/h / 2.0 mph) than the Hanomag C 220 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The SOMECA SOM-271 is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the C 220 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the SOM-271 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
