Lamborghini 450 DT or Steyr 942 (a)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Steyr 942 (a): hydraulic flow, three-point lift and maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on forward gears and top speed.
- The Steyr 942 (a) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 314% (22.3 L/min / 5.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 52% (620 kg / 1,367 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Steyr 942 (a) suits road haulage better on this data: 46% (1,100 kg / 2,425 lb) more maximum permissible mass and 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 Steyr 942 (a) has 314% more hydraulic flow (22.3 L/min / 5.9 gpm) than the Lamborghini 450 DT (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 942 (a) has 52% more lift (620 kg / 1,367 lb) than the Lamborghini 450 DT (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).

- The Steyr 942 (a) has 46% higher maximum permissible mass (1,100 kg / 2,425 lb) than the Lamborghini 450 DT (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 942 (a) has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Lamborghini 450 DT (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 942 (a) has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Lamborghini 450 DT (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, 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.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, a creeper range and PTO independence.
