ALLIS-CHALMERS ED-40 or Fiat 350 V?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the ALLIS-CHALMERS ED-40: hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears.
- The ALLIS-CHALMERS ED-40 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 58% (8.3 L/min / 2.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 26% (205 kg / 452 lb) more three-point lift.
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 ALLIS-CHALMERS ED-40 has 58% more hydraulic flow (8.3 L/min / 2.2 gpm) than the Fiat 350 V (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The ALLIS-CHALMERS ED-40 has 26% more lift (205 kg / 452 lb) than the Fiat 350 V (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The ALLIS-CHALMERS ED-40 is 25% heavier (337 kg / 743 lb) than the Fiat 350 V (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The ALLIS-CHALMERS ED-40 has 33% more forward gears (2 gears) than the Fiat 350 V (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 350 V is newer: production began 11 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- 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.
