Lamborghini 700 DT or Massey Ferguson MF 274 S (A)?

Which should you choose?

On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Lamborghini 700 DT: three-point lift. It is also ahead on top speed.

  • The Lamborghini 700 DT suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 27% (538 kg / 1,186 lb) more three-point lift.
  • The Lamborghini 700 DT 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 700 DT has 27% more lift (538 kg / 1,186 lb) than the Massey Ferguson MF 274 S (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
  • The Massey Ferguson MF 274 S (A) is 12% heavier (310 kg / 683 lb) than the Lamborghini 700 DT (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
