Kramer 714 or UTB U-640 (DTC)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 714 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the U-640 (DTC) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Kramer 714 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 48% (10.4 L/min / 2.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 Kramer 714 has 48% more hydraulic flow (10.4 L/min / 2.7 gpm) than the UTB U-640 (DTC) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Kramer 714 is 36% heavier (730 kg / 1,609 lb) than the UTB U-640 (DTC) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The UTB U-640 (DTC) is newer: production began 12 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 714 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the U-640 (DTC) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 714: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Kramer 714”); the U-640 (DTC): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “UTB U 640”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
