Fiat 80-90 (DT) or Leyland 282?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Fiat 80-90 (DT): hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on forward gears, PTO speeds and drive.
- The Fiat 80-90 (DT) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Fiat 80-90 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 18% (5.3 L/min / 1.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Fiat 80-90 (DT) 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Fiat 80-90 (DT) has 18% more hydraulic flow (5.3 L/min / 1.4 gpm) than the Leyland 282 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 80-90 (DT) has 33% more forward gears (3 gears) than the Leyland 282 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 80-90 (DT) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Leyland 282 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Fiat 80-90 (DT) is available with four-wheel drive; the Leyland 282 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Fiat 80-90 (DT) is newer: production began 5 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
