Landini 7800-Turbo (DT) or New Holland TD 85 D (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 7800-Turbo (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TD 85 D (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Landini 7800-Turbo (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 13% (5.8 L/min / 1.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 7800-Turbo (DT) has 13% more hydraulic flow (5.8 L/min / 1.5 gpm) than the New Holland TD 85 D (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Landini 7800-Turbo (DT) is 21% heavier (650 kg / 1,433 lb) than the New Holland TD 85 D (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Landini 7800-Turbo (DT) has 60% more forward gears (12 gears) than the New Holland TD 85 D (A) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland TD 85 D (A) is newer: production began 15 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 7800-Turbo (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TD 85 D (A) 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 and a creeper range.
