Fiat M 115 or VALMET Mega 8150 HiTech?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the Fiat M 115 is ahead on hydraulic flow; the VALMET Mega 8150 HiTech is ahead on maximum permissible mass and forward gears.
- The Fiat M 115 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 21% (15.9 L/min / 4.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The VALMET Mega 8150 HiTech suits road haulage better on this data: 13% (1,000 kg / 2,205 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 Fiat M 115 has 21% more hydraulic flow (15.9 L/min / 4.2 gpm) than the VALMET Mega 8150 HiTech (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET Mega 8150 HiTech has 13% higher maximum permissible mass (1,000 kg / 2,205 lb) than the Fiat M 115 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET Mega 8150 HiTech has 50% more forward gears (12 gears) than the Fiat M 115 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- 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 three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
