Lamborghini 574-70 (DT) or VALMET 4500?

Which should you choose?

On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the VALMET 4500: hydraulic flow. On features, the Lamborghini 574-70 (DT) is ahead on forward gears and PTO speeds.

  • The Lamborghini 574-70 (DT) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
  • The VALMET 4500 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 26% (8.0 L/min / 2.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow.

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.
