Hanomag Granit 501 E (S) or Hermann Lanz D 648 Allrad?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Granit 501 E (S) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the D 648 Allrad has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Hermann Lanz D 648 Allrad suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 12% (200 kg / 441 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Hermann Lanz D 648 Allrad suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 11% (240 kg / 529 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The Hermann Lanz D 648 Allrad suits road haulage better on this data: 30% (1,050 kg / 2,315 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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.
