Lanz D 6500 or Schlüter DMZ 16?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the D 6500 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the DMZ 16 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
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 6500 is 61% heavier (1,000 kg / 2,205 lb) than the Schlüter DMZ 16 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Schlüter DMZ 16 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 PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the D 6500 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the DMZ 16 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, top speed and PTO independence.
