Hermann Lanz D 14 S or International Harvester CUB LO-BOY?
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 CUB LO-BOY has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Hermann Lanz D 14 S suits road haulage better on this data: 38% (4.5 km/h / 2.8 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 Hermann Lanz D 14 S is 77% heavier (566 kg / 1,248 lb) than the International Harvester CUB LO-BOY (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hermann Lanz D 14 S has 38% more top speed (4.5 km/h / 2.8 mph) than the International Harvester CUB LO-BOY (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester CUB LO-BOY is newer: production began 6 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): fewer than 2 gears apart.
- 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 CUB LO-BOY 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
