Lamborghini R-365 (DT) or SAME Explorer 65 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the SAME Explorer 65 (DT): hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on top speed. On features, the Lamborghini R-365 (DT) is ahead on PTO speeds.
- The Lamborghini R-365 (DT) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The SAME Explorer 65 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 51% (12.3 L/min / 3.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 65% (1,350 kg / 2,976 lb) more three-point lift.
- The SAME Explorer 65 (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 SAME Explorer 65 (DT) has 51% more hydraulic flow (12.3 L/min / 3.2 gpm) than the Lamborghini R-365 (DT) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Explorer 65 (DT) has 65% more lift (1,350 kg / 2,976 lb) than the Lamborghini R-365 (DT) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Explorer 65 (DT) has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Lamborghini R-365 (DT) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini R-365 (DT) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the SAME Explorer 65 (DT) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The SAME Explorer 65 (DT) is newer: production began 12 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
