International Harvester Super-CUB or J. Bautz AG B 14 AS?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Super-CUB has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the B 14 AS has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The J. Bautz AG B 14 AS suits road haulage better on this data: 38% (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?
- The J. Bautz AG B 14 AS is 77% heavier (501 kg / 1,105 lb) than the International Harvester Super-CUB (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The J. Bautz AG B 14 AS has 38% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the International Harvester Super-CUB (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester Super-CUB is newer: production began 9 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 Super-CUB has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the B 14 AS 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.
