UTB U-360 or Warchalowski WT-38?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the U-360 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the WT-38 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Warchalowski WT-38 suits road haulage better on this data: 26% (6.0 km/h / 3.7 mph) more top speed.
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 UTB U-360 is 19% heavier (273 kg / 602 lb) than the Warchalowski WT-38 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Warchalowski WT-38 has 26% more top speed (6.0 km/h / 3.7 mph) than the UTB U-360 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The UTB U-360 is newer: production began 15 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 rpm).
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the U-360 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the WT-38 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 U-360: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “UTB U 360”); the WT-38: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Warchalowski WT 38”) — 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
