Hermann Lanz D 14 S or Kramer Pionier S?
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 Pionier S 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 14S is 14% heavier (160 kg / 353 lb) than the Kramer Pionier S (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hermann Lanz D 14S has 22% higher maximum permissible mass (340 kg / 750 lb) than the Kramer Pionier S (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Kramer Pionier S has 50% more forward gears (2 gears) than the Hermann Lanz D 14S (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Kramer Pionier S has 21% more top speed (3.5 km/h / 2.2 mph) than the Hermann Lanz D 14S (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Kramer Pionier S is newer: production began 10 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- PTO speeds differ: the Hermann Lanz D 14S 540 rpm and the Kramer Pionier S 1000 rpm — each offers a speed the other does not; which matters depends on the implement.
- 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 Pionier S 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.
