Fiat 72-94 (DT) or VALMET 465 (465-4)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 72-94 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 465 (465-4) 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 VALMET 465 (465-4) has 24% more hydraulic flow (10.5 L/min / 2.8 gpm) than the Fiat 72-94 (DT) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 72-94 (DT) has 36% more lift (920 kg / 2,028 lb) than the VALMET 465 (465-4) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 72-94 (DT) is 23% heavier (640 kg / 1,411 lb) than the VALMET 465 (465-4) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 72-94 (DT) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the VALMET 465 (465-4) does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 72-94 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 465 (465-4) 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.
