Lamborghini R 350 (DT) or VALMET 305 (305/4)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the R 350 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 305 (305/4) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The VALMET 305 (305/4) 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 VALMET 305 (305/4) has 47% more hydraulic flow (11.4 L/min / 3.0 gpm) than the Lamborghini R 350 (DT) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).

- The Lamborghini R 350 (DT) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the VALMET 305 (305/4) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The VALMET 305 (305/4) is newer: production began 15 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the R 350 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 305 (305/4) 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, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
