Lamborghini R-654 (DT) or VOLVO-BM 2250 (Bolinder-Munktell T 2250)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the R-654 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2250 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Lamborghini R-654 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 35% (780 kg / 1,720 lb) more three-point lift.
- The VOLVO-BM 2250 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Lamborghini R-654 (DT) has 35% more lift (780 kg / 1,720 lb) than the VOLVO-BM 2250 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The VOLVO-BM 2250 is 20% heavier (530 kg / 1,168 lb) than the Lamborghini R-654 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The VOLVO-BM 2250 has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Lamborghini R-654 (DT) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini R-654 (DT) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the VOLVO-BM 2250 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Lamborghini R-654 (DT) is available with four-wheel drive; the VOLVO-BM 2250 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 R-654 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2250 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
