Lamborghini R-475 (DT) or Steyr 280a?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Lamborghini R-475 (DT): three-point lift. It is also ahead on drive.
- The Lamborghini R-475 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 37% (734 kg / 1,618 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Lamborghini R-475 (DT) has 37% more lift (734 kg / 1,618 lb) than the Steyr 280a (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 280a is 14% heavier (388 kg / 855 lb) than the Lamborghini R-475 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini R-475 (DT) is available with four-wheel drive; the Steyr 280a is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Lamborghini R-475 (DT) is newer: production began 13 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 forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
