Landini R-6500 (DT) or Landini R-7880 (DT)?

Which should you choose?

On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Landini R-7880 (DT): three-point lift. It is also ahead on top speed.

  • The Landini R-7880 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 17% (450 kg / 992 lb) more three-point lift.
  • The Landini R-7880 (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 Landini R-7880 (DT) has 17% more lift (450 kg / 992 lb) than the Landini R-6500 (DT) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
  • The Landini R-7880 (DT) is 51% heavier (1,130 kg / 2,491 lb) than the Landini R-6500 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
