Landini R 8000 Special (TL-15 N) or Leyland 384?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Leyland 384: three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears.
- The Leyland 384 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 17% (220 kg / 485 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 Leyland 384 has 17% more lift (220 kg / 485 lb) than the Landini R 8000 Special (TL-15 N) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Landini R 8000 Special (TL-15 N) is 19% heavier (400 kg / 882 lb) than the Leyland 384 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Leyland 384 has 67% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Landini R 8000 Special (TL-15 N) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- 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 hydraulic flow (both pump flow, 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 difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on drive: all two-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.
- 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.
