John Deere 830 or Lamborghini R-470 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 830 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the R-470 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The John Deere 830 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 39% (9.5 L/min / 2.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Lamborghini R-470 (DT) suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (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.

- The Lamborghini R-470 (DT) is newer: production began 11 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 830 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the R-470 (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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
