AGRIFULL A-140 DT Turbo or VALMET 8450?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the A-140 DT Turbo has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8450 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The VALMET 8450 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 45% (22.8 L/min / 6.0 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 VALMET 8450 has 45% more hydraulic flow (22.8 L/min / 6.0 gpm) than the AGRIFULL A-140 DT Turbo (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The AGRIFULL A-140 DT Turbo is 28% heavier (1,490 kg / 3,285 lb) than the VALMET 8450 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 8450 has 50% more forward gears (12 gears) than the AGRIFULL A-140 DT Turbo (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 8450 is newer: production began 8 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, 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 PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the A-140 DT Turbo has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8450 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the A-140 DT Turbo: lift 610 mm behind the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Agrifull A-140 Turbo”); the 8450: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Valmet Mega-8450”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- 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.
