International Harvester 784 or Landini 7800 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Landini 7800 (DT): hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears and top speed.
- The Landini 7800 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 28% (10.8 L/min / 2.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 70% (1,470 kg / 3,241 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Landini 7800 (DT) suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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.
