SAME Trident 130 or Schlüter Super 1250 VL?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Trident 130 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Super 1250 VL has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Schlüter Super 1250 VL suits road haulage better on this data: 17% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) more top speed.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “similar machines”. 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 Schlüter Super 1250 VL is 24% heavier (985 kg / 2,172 lb) than the SAME Trident 130 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Schlüter Super 1250 VL has 17% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the SAME Trident 130 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Trident 130 is newer: production began 9 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 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 Trident 130 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Super 1250 VL 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 Trident 130: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “SAME Trident 130”); the Super 1250 VL: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Schlüter Super 1250 VL”) — 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, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
