UTB U-640 (DTC) or ZETOR 5321/5341 Super?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the U-640 (DTC) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 5321/5341 Super has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The ZETOR 5321/5341 Super suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 103% (22.2 L/min / 5.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 155% (2,437 kg / 5,373 lb) more three-point lift.
- The ZETOR 5321/5341 Super suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (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.
