Lamborghini R-485 (DT) or Leyland 282?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the Leyland 282 is ahead on hydraulic flow and top speed; the Lamborghini R-485 (DT) is ahead on three-point lift, forward gears, PTO speeds and drive.
- The Lamborghini R-485 (DT) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Lamborghini R-485 (DT) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
- The Leyland 282 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 Leyland 282 has 25% more hydraulic flow (6.0 L/min / 1.6 gpm) than the Lamborghini R-485 (DT) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Lamborghini R-485 (DT) has 11% more lift (262 kg / 578 lb) than the Leyland 282 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
