Fendt 414 Vario or VALMET 8200?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 414 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8200 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
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 Fendt 414 Vario is 16% heavier (750 kg / 1,653 lb) than the VALMET 8200 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 414 Vario is newer: production began 13 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Fendt 414 Vario is stepless (CVT) and the VALMET 8200 has 12 to 36 forward gears — not called.
- 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 drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 414 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8200 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, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
