Ford 4130 (A) or Lamborghini 554-50 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Lamborghini 554-50 (DT): three-point lift. It is also ahead on PTO speeds.
- The Lamborghini 554-50 (DT) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Lamborghini 554-50 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 46% (913 kg / 2,013 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 554-50 (DT) has 46% more lift (913 kg / 2,013 lb) than the Ford 4130 (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 4130 (A) is 44% heavier (852 kg / 1,878 lb) than the Lamborghini 554-50 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini 554-50 (DT) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Ford 4130 (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- 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 hydraulic flow (both pump flow, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, 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 independence: every PTO is independent.
- 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.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
