Landini 8830 (DT) TL-23 N/E (TL-23 DT/F) or URSUS 912 / 914?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 8830 (DT) TL-23 N/E (TL-23 DT/F) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 912 / 914 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The URSUS 912 / 914 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 27% (9.7 L/min / 2.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 30% (906 kg / 1,997 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Landini 8830 (DT) TL-23 N/E (TL-23 DT/F) suits road haulage better on this data: 15% (4.0 km/h / 2.5 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.

- 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 8830 (DT) TL-23 N/E (TL-23 DT/F) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 912 / 914 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.
