Deutz (KHD) D 6206 or Lamborghini R-365 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Deutz D 6206: hydraulic flow. On features, the Lamborghini R-365 (DT) is ahead on forward gears and PTO speeds.
- The Lamborghini R-365 (DT) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Deutz D 6206 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 13% (3.2 L/min / 0.8 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?
- The Deutz D 6206 has 13% more hydraulic flow (3.2 L/min / 0.8 gpm) than the Lamborghini R-365 (DT) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini R-365 (DT) is 14% heavier (312 kg / 688 lb) than the Deutz D 6206 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini R-365 (DT) has 33% more forward gears (3 gears) than the Deutz D 6206 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini R-365 (DT) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Deutz D 6206 does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
