Hanomag R 28 N or Steyr 30?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Steyr 30: hydraulic flow and maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on top speed.
- The Steyr 30 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 77% (9.2 L/min / 2.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Steyr 30 suits road haulage better on this data: 16% (350 kg / 772 lb) more maximum permissible mass and 67% (11.2 km/h / 7.0 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.

| Which is newer, and what about parts? | 1951–1953 | 1966–1976 | Ahead (a fact, not an advantage)The Steyr 30 is newer: production began 15 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts. |
What does this mean in plain words?
- The Steyr 30 has 77% more hydraulic flow (9.2 L/min / 2.4 gpm) than the Hanomag R 28N (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 30 has 16% higher maximum permissible mass (350 kg / 772 lb) than the Hanomag R 28N (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 30 has 67% more top speed (11.2 km/h / 7.0 mph) than the Hanomag R 28N (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 30 is newer: production began 15 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, 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: all two-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, a creeper range, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
