John Deere 1120 or Landini R-5000 Special (TL 14 N/A)?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the Landini R-5000 Special (TL 14 N/A) is ahead on hydraulic flow and top speed; the John Deere 1120 is ahead on three-point lift and PTO speeds.
- The John Deere 1120 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Landini R-5000 Special (TL 14 N/A) 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Landini R-5000 Special (TL 14 N/A) has 16% more hydraulic flow (3.6 L/min / 1.0 gpm) than the John Deere 1120 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 1120 has 47% more lift (520 kg / 1,146 lb) than the Landini R-5000 Special (TL 14 N/A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).

- The John Deere 1120 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Landini R-5000 Special (TL 14 N/A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- 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 forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on drive: all two-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.
- 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.
