Lanz D 9006 or SOMECA DA-50?
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 SOMECA DA-50 is ahead on top speed.
- The SOMECA DA-50 suits road haulage better on this data: 18% (3.4 km/h / 2.1 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 Lanz D 9006 is 68% heavier (1,420 kg / 3,131 lb) than the SOMECA DA-50 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The SOMECA DA-50 has 18% more top speed (3.4 km/h / 2.1 mph) than the Lanz D 9006 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The SOMECA DA-50 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 forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, 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.
