Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial or Lamborghini R-503 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Lamborghini R-503 (DT): three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears, top speed and drive.
- The Lamborghini R-503 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 132% (1,450 kg / 3,197 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Lamborghini R-503 (DT) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 14% (210 kg / 463 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The Lamborghini R-503 (DT) suits road haulage better on this data: 15% (3.0 km/h / 1.9 mph) more top speed.
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.
