International Harvester Super FC-C or Lanz D 7006?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level. On features, the Lanz D 7006 is ahead on forward gears; the International Harvester Super FC-C is ahead on top speed.
- The International Harvester Super FC-C suits road haulage better on this data: 13% (1.9 km/h / 1.2 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 Lanz D 7006 is 64% heavier (920 kg / 2,028 lb) than the International Harvester Super FC-C (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Lanz D 7006 has 50% more forward gears (2 gears) than the International Harvester Super FC-C (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester Super FC-C has 13% more top speed (1.9 km/h / 1.2 mph) than the Lanz D 7006 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester Super FC-C is newer: production began 9 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- 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.
