Fiat 70-66 F (DT/F) or SAME Dorado 70 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level.
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 SAME Dorado 70 (DT) is 38% heavier (740 kg / 1,631 lb) than the Fiat 70-66 F (DT/F) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Dorado 70 (DT) is newer: production began 11 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 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 figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 70-66 F (DT/F): lift 610 mm behind the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fiat 70-66 F/70-66 F/DT”); the Dorado 70 (DT): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “SAME Dorado 70”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
