Leyland 262 or SAME Minitauro 60?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Leyland 262: hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on top speed. On features, the SAME Minitauro 60 is ahead on drive.
- The Leyland 262 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 49% (10.3 L/min / 2.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Leyland 262 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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 Leyland 262 has 49% more hydraulic flow (10.3 L/min / 2.7 gpm) than the SAME Minitauro 60 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Leyland 262 is 60% heavier (1,140 kg / 2,513 lb) than the SAME Minitauro 60 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Leyland 262 has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the SAME Minitauro 60 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Minitauro 60 is available with four-wheel drive; the Leyland 262 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- 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 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 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 rpm).
- 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.
