Hürlimann H-488 T "Prestige" or VALMET 755/755-4?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the H-488 T "Prestige" has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 755/755-4 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 755/755-4 is 11% heavier (365 kg / 805 lb) than the Hürlimann H-488 T "Prestige" (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-488 T "Prestige" has 50% more forward gears (8 gears) than the VALMET 755/755-4 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-488 T "Prestige" offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the VALMET 755/755-4 does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 H-488 T "Prestige" has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 755/755-4 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-488 T "Prestige": lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann H 488 T Prestige”); the 755/755-4: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Valmet 755”) — 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
