Lamborghini R-956 (DT) or Massey Ferguson MF 3070 (A)?

Which should you choose?

On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Lamborghini R-956 (DT): hydraulic flow and three-point lift. On features, the Massey Ferguson MF 3070 (A) is ahead on forward gears.

  • The Lamborghini R-956 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 23% (11.9 L/min / 3.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 22% (817 kg / 1,801 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.
