John Deere Modell 720 Diesel or Lamborghini R 350 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Modell 720 Diesel has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the R 350 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The John Deere Modell 720 Diesel suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 39% (9.5 L/min / 2.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Lamborghini R 350 (DT) suits road haulage better on this data: 39% (7.0 km/h / 4.3 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.
