New Holland TD 70 D (A) or Steyr 370 Kompakt?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the Steyr 370 Kompakt is ahead on hydraulic flow; the New Holland TD 70 D (A) is ahead on three-point lift and PTO speeds.
- The New Holland TD 70 D (A) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
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 Steyr 370 Kompakt has 22% more hydraulic flow (9.3 L/min / 2.5 gpm) than the New Holland TD 70 D (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland TD 70 D (A) has 10% more lift (268 kg / 591 lb) than the Steyr 370 Kompakt (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland TD 70 D (A) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Steyr 370 Kompakt does not (as stated by the sources).
- 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
