Fiat 70-56 LM (DT or UTB U-703 DT?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 70-56 LM (DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the U-703 DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The UTB U-703 DT suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 30% (9.7 L/min / 2.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 35% (896 kg / 1,975 lb) more three-point lift.
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 UTB U-703 DT has 30% more hydraulic flow (9.7 L/min / 2.6 gpm) than the Fiat 70-56 LM (DT (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The UTB U-703 DT has 35% more lift (896 kg / 1,975 lb) than the Fiat 70-56 LM (DT (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The UTB U-703 DT is 34% heavier (835 kg / 1,841 lb) than the Fiat 70-56 LM (DT (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The UTB U-703 DT has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Fiat 70-56 LM (DT (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The UTB U-703 DT offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Fiat 70-56 LM (DT does not (as stated by the sources).
- 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 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 70-56 LM (DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the U-703 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
