Fiat 980 (DT) or Lamborghini R-1106 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Lamborghini R-1106 (DT): hydraulic flow and three-point lift.
- The Lamborghini R-1106 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 126% (40.2 L/min / 10.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 37% (1,250 kg / 2,756 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 Lamborghini R-1106 (DT) has 126% more hydraulic flow (40.2 L/min / 10.6 gpm) than the Fiat 980 (DT) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini R-1106 (DT) has 37% more lift (1,250 kg / 2,756 lb) than the Fiat 980 (DT) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini R-1106 (DT) is 20% heavier (680 kg / 1,499 lb) than the Fiat 980 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini R-1106 (DT) is newer: production began 6 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 drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- 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.
