Agco LT-70 or SAME Dorado 75 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the LT-70 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Dorado 75 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The SAME Dorado 75 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 91% (1,382 kg / 3,047 lb) more three-point lift.
- The SAME Dorado 75 (DT) suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 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 SAME Dorado 75 (DT) has 91% more lift (1,382 kg / 3,047 lb) than the Agco LT-70 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Agco LT-70 is 39% heavier (1,037 kg / 2,286 lb) than the SAME Dorado 75 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Dorado 75 (DT) has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Agco LT-70 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Agco LT-70 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the SAME Dorado 75 (DT) does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the LT-70 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Dorado 75 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- 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.
