Landini R-6860 (DT) TL-21 N/K (TL-21 DT/K) or Landini 6560 L (DT) TL 37 N/M (TL-37 DT/M)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the R-6860 (DT) TL-21 N/K (TL-21 DT/K) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6560 L (DT) TL 37 N/M (TL-37 DT/M) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Landini 6560 L (DT) TL 37 N/M (TL-37 DT/M) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 10% (3.9 L/min / 1.0 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 12% (233 kg / 514 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 6560 L (DT) TL 37 N/M (TL-37 DT/M) has 10% more hydraulic flow (3.9 L/min / 1.0 gpm) than the Landini R-6860 (DT) TL-21 N/K (TL-21 DT/K) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Landini 6560 L (DT) TL 37 N/M (TL-37 DT/M) has 12% more lift (233 kg / 514 lb) than the Landini R-6860 (DT) TL-21 N/K (TL-21 DT/K) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- 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 top speed (both top speed forward, 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.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the R-6860 (DT) TL-21 N/K (TL-21 DT/K) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6560 L (DT) TL 37 N/M (TL-37 DT/M) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- 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.
