SAME Laser 150 DT or SAME Titan 145?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Laser 150 DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Titan 145 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 SAME Titan 145 is newer: production began 12 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, 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 difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- 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, 1000 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Laser 150 DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Titan 145 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 Laser 150 DT: lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “SAME Laser 150”); the Titan 145: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “SAME Titan 145”) — 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, hydraulic flow and a creeper range.
