John Deere 1140 (A) or OLIVER 1365 (4 WD)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the John Deere 1140 (A): hydraulic flow.
- The John Deere 1140 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 116% (25.2 L/min / 6.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 John Deere 1140 (A) has 116% more hydraulic flow (25.2 L/min / 6.7 gpm) than the OLIVER 1365 (4 WD) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 1140 (A) is 13% heavier (285 kg / 628 lb) than the OLIVER 1365 (4 WD) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 1140 (A) 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 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 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
