Nuffield 4/65 (465) or Steyr 760 (a)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Steyr 760 (a): hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears, PTO speeds and drive.
- The Steyr 760 (a) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Steyr 760 (a) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 12% (3.6 L/min / 1.0 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 41% (700 kg / 1,543 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Steyr 760 (a) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
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 760 (a) has 12% more hydraulic flow (3.6 L/min / 1.0 gpm) than the Nuffield 4/65 (465) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 760 (a) has 41% more lift (700 kg / 1,543 lb) than the Nuffield 4/65 (465) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 760 (a) has 60% more forward gears (6 gears) than the Nuffield 4/65 (465) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 760 (a) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Nuffield 4/65 (465) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Steyr 760 (a) is available with four-wheel drive; the Nuffield 4/65 (465) is two-wheel drive (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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
