Agco GT-55 or VALMET 4400?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the GT-55 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 4400 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Agco GT-55 suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 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.

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the GT-55 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 4400 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 and a creeper range.
