John Deere 5310 (A) or UTB U-643 DT?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 5310 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the U-643 DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The John Deere 5310 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 41% (14.1 L/min / 3.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The John Deere 5310 (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (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 John Deere 5310 (A) has 41% more hydraulic flow (14.1 L/min / 3.7 gpm) than the UTB U-643 DT (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The UTB U-643 DT is 48% heavier (1,015 kg / 2,238 lb) than the John Deere 5310 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 5310 (A) has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the UTB U-643 DT (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The UTB U-643 DT offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the John Deere 5310 (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The John Deere 5310 (A) 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): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 5310 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the U-643 DT 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
