Fendt Farmer 201 S or Lamborghini R-503 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Lamborghini R-503 (DT): three-point lift. On features, the Fendt Farmer 201 S is ahead on top speed.
- The Lamborghini R-503 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 61% (969 kg / 2,137 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Fendt Farmer 201 S suits road haulage better on this data: 30% (7.0 km/h / 4.3 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 Lamborghini R-503 (DT) has 61% more lift (969 kg / 2,137 lb) than the Fendt Farmer 201 S (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 201 S is 16% heavier (275 kg / 606 lb) than the Lamborghini R-503 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 201 S has 30% more top speed (7.0 km/h / 4.3 mph) than the Lamborghini R-503 (DT) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- 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.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- PTO speeds differ: the Fendt Farmer 201 S 1000 rpm and the Lamborghini R-503 (DT) 540 rpm — each offers a speed the other does not; which matters depends on the implement.
- 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.
- 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.
