Fiat L 95 (DT) or VALMET 6400-4?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the L 95 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6400-4 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The VALMET 6400-4 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 14% (8.2 L/min / 2.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The VALMET 6400-4 suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (1,500 kg / 3,307 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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 6400-4 has 14% more hydraulic flow (8.2 L/min / 2.2 gpm) than the Fiat L 95 (DT) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 6400-4 is 24% heavier (800 kg / 1,764 lb) than the Fiat L 95 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 6400-4 has 25% higher maximum permissible mass (1,500 kg / 3,307 lb) than the Fiat L 95 (DT) (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat L 95 (DT) is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 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 L 95 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6400-4 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, three-point lift, a creeper range and PTO independence.
