Hermann Lanz D 14 S or International Harvester D-214?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the D 14 S has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the D-214 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
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 Hermann Lanz D 14 S is 13% heavier (149 kg / 328 lb) than the International Harvester D-214 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hermann Lanz D 14 S has 19% higher maximum permissible mass (300 kg / 661 lb) than the International Harvester D-214 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester D-214 has 50% more forward gears (2 gears) than the Hermann Lanz D 14 S (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester D-214 has 15% more top speed (2.5 km/h / 1.6 mph) than the Hermann Lanz D 14 S (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester D-214 is newer: production began 9 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the D 14 S has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the D-214 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
