Hürlimann XE 70 Tradition or VALMET 4400?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the XE 70 Tradition has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 4400 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Hürlimann XE 70 Tradition suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) more top speed.
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.

- The Hürlimann XE 70 Tradition has 67% more forward gears (8 gears) than the VALMET 4400 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann XE 70 Tradition has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the VALMET 4400 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann XE 70 Tradition is newer: production began 12 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the XE 70 Tradition has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 4400 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
