Ford 3600 (A) or Landini 5860 (DT) TL-22 N/K (TL-22 DT/K)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 3600 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 5860 (DT) TL-22 N/K (TL-22 DT/K) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Landini 5860 (DT) TL-22 N/K (TL-22 DT/K) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 21% (6.5 L/min / 1.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 61% (770 kg / 1,698 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.
