Hürlimann XT 910.4 or VALMET 6900?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the XT 910.4 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6900 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The VALMET 6900 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 45% (21.2 L/min / 5.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The VALMET 6900 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 6900 has 45% more hydraulic flow (21.2 L/min / 5.6 gpm) than the Hürlimann XT 910.4 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 6900 has 25% higher maximum permissible mass (1,500 kg / 3,307 lb) than the Hürlimann XT 910.4 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- 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 difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- 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.
- 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 XT 910.4 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6900 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 XT 910.4: lift through the full range at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann XT 910.4”); the 6900: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Valmet 6900”) — 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
