Landini 7800 (DT) or Renault 68-12 RS?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 7800 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 68-12 RS has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Landini 7800 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 19% (7.8 L/min / 2.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 19% (560 kg / 1,235 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Landini 7800 (DT) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 22% (665 kg / 1,466 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
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.
