International Harvester FU-267 D or Warchalowski WT-38?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the FU-267 D has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the WT-38 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Warchalowski WT-38 suits road haulage better on this data: 53% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 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 International Harvester FU-267 D is 26% heavier (370 kg / 816 lb) than the Warchalowski WT-38 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Warchalowski WT-38 has 33% more forward gears (2 gears) than the International Harvester FU-267 D (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Warchalowski WT-38 has 53% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the International Harvester FU-267 D (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- No call on three-point lift: the sources do not state where the lift was measured, so the difference is not a reliable call.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the FU-267 D has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the WT-38 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO speeds.
