International Harvester 785 (A) or Lamborghini 674-70 DT A Grand Prix?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Lamborghini 674-70 DT A Grand Prix: three-point lift. It is also ahead on top speed.
- The Lamborghini 674-70 DT A Grand Prix suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 29% (610 kg / 1,345 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Lamborghini 674-70 DT A Grand Prix 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 “similar machines”. 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 674-70 DT A Grand Prix has 29% more lift (610 kg / 1,345 lb) than the International Harvester 785 (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini 674-70 DT A Grand Prix has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the International Harvester 785 (A) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini 674-70 DT A Grand Prix is newer: production began 8 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 weight (both unladen weight, 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.
