Lamborghini 240 Traction or New Holland T 8020?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 240 Traction has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T 8020 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The New Holland T 8020 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 115% (89.0 L/min / 23.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 20% (1,526 kg / 3,364 lb) more three-point lift.
- The New Holland T 8020 suits road haulage better on this data: 17% (2,000 kg / 4,409 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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 New Holland T 8020 has 115% more hydraulic flow (89.0 L/min / 23.5 gpm) than the Lamborghini 240 Traction (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland T 8020 has 20% more lift (1,526 kg / 3,364 lb) than the Lamborghini 240 Traction (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).

- The New Holland T 8020 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Lamborghini 240 Traction does not (as stated by the sources).
- The New Holland T 8020 is newer: production began 13 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
