Hürlimann H-307 XE or VALMET 465 (465-4)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the H-307 XE 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.
- The VALMET 465 (465-4) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 83% (25.0 L/min / 6.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 83% more hydraulic flow (25.0 L/min / 6.6 gpm) than the Hürlimann H-307 XE (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-307 XE offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the VALMET 465 (465-4) does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 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 H-307 XE 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.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the H-307 XE: lift through the full range at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann XE 307”); the 465 (465-4): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Valmet 465”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- 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.
