International Harvester D-432 or ZETOR 3011/3045?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the D-432 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 3011/3045 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The ZETOR 3011/3045 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
- The ZETOR 3011/3045 suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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?
