Fiat 570 V/E or Leyland 344?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the Leyland 344 is ahead on hydraulic flow; the Fiat 570 V/E is ahead on three-point lift and drive.
- The Fiat 570 V/E suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
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.

| Which drives on both axles? | Two-wheel or four-wheel driveTraktorenlexikon, “Fiat 570 VE/570 VE/DT” | 2WDTraktorenlexikon, “Leyland 344” | AheadThe Fiat 570 V/E is available with four-wheel drive; the Leyland 344 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources). |
| Which is newer, and what about parts? | 1978–1982 | 1969–1972 | Ahead (a fact, not an advantage)The Fiat 570 V/E is newer: production began 9 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts. |
What does this mean in plain words?
- The Leyland 344 has 26% more hydraulic flow (6.4 L/min / 1.7 gpm) than the Fiat 570 V/E (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 570 V/E has 32% more lift (480 kg / 1,058 lb) than the Leyland 344 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 570 V/E is available with four-wheel drive; the Leyland 344 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Fiat 570 V/E is newer: production began 9 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
