Landini 8560 L (DT) TL 40 N/M (TL-40 DT/M) or URSUS 912 / 914?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 8560 L (DT) TL 40 N/M (TL-40 DT/M) 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: 86% (1,806 kg / 3,982 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Landini 8560 L (DT) TL 40 N/M (TL-40 DT/M) 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The URSUS 912 / 914 has 86% more lift (1,806 kg / 3,982 lb) than the Landini 8560 L (DT) TL 40 N/M (TL-40 DT/M) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The URSUS 912 / 914 is 77% heavier (1,745 kg / 3,847 lb) than the Landini 8560 L (DT) TL 40 N/M (TL-40 DT/M) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Landini 8560 L (DT) TL 40 N/M (TL-40 DT/M) has 15% more top speed (4.0 km/h / 2.5 mph) than the URSUS 912 / 914 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- 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 forward gears (both forward gears, 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 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 8560 L (DT) TL 40 N/M (TL-40 DT/M) 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.
