Landini 10800 (DT) or Renault 981-4 (S)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Landini 10800 (DT): hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears.
- The Landini 10800 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 56% (18.4 L/min / 4.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 15% (590 kg / 1,301 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 Landini 10800 (DT) has 56% more hydraulic flow (18.4 L/min / 4.9 gpm) than the Renault 981-4 (S) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Landini 10800 (DT) has 15% more lift (590 kg / 1,301 lb) than the Renault 981-4 (S) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Landini 10800 (DT) has 100% more forward gears (16 gears) than the Renault 981-4 (S) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Landini 10800 (DT) is newer: production began 10 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 PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- 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, top speed and PTO independence.
