Lamborghini 550 or VALMET 504?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 550 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 504 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Lamborghini 550 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 32% (575 kg / 1,268 lb) more three-point lift.
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 Lamborghini 550 has 32% more lift (575 kg / 1,268 lb) than the VALMET 504 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 504 is 29% heavier (610 kg / 1,345 lb) than the Lamborghini 550 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini 550 has 100% more forward gears (6 gears) than the VALMET 504 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini 550 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the VALMET 504 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Lamborghini 550 is available with four-wheel drive; the VALMET 504 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- Even on hydraulic flow (both pump flow, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 550 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 504 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
