Lamborghini R-240 (DT) or OLIVER 1250 (4 WD)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the R-240 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 1250 (4 WD) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
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-240 (DT) is 14% heavier (210 kg / 463 lb) than the OLIVER 1250 (4 WD) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini R-240 (DT) has 100% more forward gears (6 gears) than the OLIVER 1250 (4 WD) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini R-240 (DT) has an independent PTO; the OLIVER 1250 (4 WD)’s is dependent (stops with the clutch).
- The Lamborghini R-240 (DT) is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the R-240 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 1250 (4 WD) 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
