SAME Panter (DT) or SAME Panther 90 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the SAME Panther 90 (DT): three-point lift.
- The SAME Panther 90 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 20% (565 kg / 1,246 lb) more three-point lift.
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.

| Which may carry more ballast and load? | — | — | No figureNo call on maximum permissible mass: no figure on record for the Panter (DT) and the Panther 90 (DT). |
| Which has the wider choice of gears? | 12 to 24Traktorenlexikon, “SAME Panther” | 12 to 24Traktorenlexikon, “SAME Panther 90” | EvenEven on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap. |

| Which PTO runs independently of the ground drive? | independentTraktorenlexikon, “SAME Panther” | independentTraktorenlexikon, “SAME Panther 90” | EvenEven on PTO independence: every PTO is independent. |
| Which drives on both axles? | Two-wheel or four-wheel driveTraktorenlexikon, “SAME Panther” | Two-wheel or four-wheel driveTraktorenlexikon, “SAME Panther 90” | EvenEven on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive. |
| Which is newer, and what about parts? | 1973–1977 | 1978–1980 | Ahead (a fact, not an advantage)The SAME Panther 90 (DT) is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts. |
What does this mean in plain words?
- The SAME Panther 90 (DT) has 20% more lift (565 kg / 1,246 lb) than the SAME Panter (DT) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Panther 90 (DT) is 16% heavier (510 kg / 1,124 lb) than the SAME Panter (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Panther 90 (DT) is newer: production began 5 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 hydraulic flow (both pump flow, 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 difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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.
- 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.
