ALLIS-CHALMERS 210 or Lamborghini R-1256 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 210 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the R-1256 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The ALLIS-CHALMERS 210 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 30% (14.5 L/min / 3.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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?

- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 210 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the R-1256 (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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
