J.I. Case 1896 (DT) or Lamborghini R-956 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 1896 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the R-956 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Lamborghini R-956 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 54% (1,607 kg / 3,543 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 R-956 (DT) has 54% more lift (1,607 kg / 3,543 lb) than the J.I. Case 1896 (DT) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The J.I. Case 1896 (DT) is 40% heavier (1,535 kg / 3,384 lb) than the Lamborghini R-956 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- 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 speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 1896 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the R-956 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
