IMT 588 or Landini TL 33 N/A (R 5530 F)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Landini TL 33 N/A (R 5530 F): hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears, top speed and PTO speeds.
- The Landini TL 33 N/A (R 5530 F) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Landini TL 33 N/A (R 5530 F) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 146% (22.0 L/min / 5.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 46% (513 kg / 1,131 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Landini TL 33 N/A (R 5530 F) suits road haulage better on this data: 36% (8.0 km/h / 5.0 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.

- The Landini TL 33 N/A (R 5530 F) has 100% more forward gears (6 gears) than the IMT 588 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Landini TL 33 N/A (R 5530 F) has 36% more top speed (8.0 km/h / 5.0 mph) than the IMT 588 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Landini TL 33 N/A (R 5530 F) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the IMT 588 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Landini TL 33 N/A (R 5530 F) is newer: production began 13 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 drive: all two-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.
