John Deere 5300 (A) or Lamborghini 600 DT?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the John Deere 5300 (A) is ahead on hydraulic flow; the Lamborghini 600 DT is ahead on three-point lift and PTO speeds.
- The Lamborghini 600 DT suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
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 5300 (A) has 51% more hydraulic flow (14.9 L/min / 3.9 gpm) than the Lamborghini 600 DT (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini 600 DT has 26% more lift (447 kg / 985 lb) than the John Deere 5300 (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini 600 DT is 19% heavier (386 kg / 851 lb) than the John Deere 5300 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini 600 DT offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the John Deere 5300 (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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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.
- 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.
