Hürlimann XT 910.6 Turbo or VALMET 8100?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the VALMET 8100: hydraulic flow. On features, the Hürlimann XT 910.6 Turbo is ahead on forward gears.
- The VALMET 8100 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 39% (18.9 L/min / 5.0 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 8100 has 39% more hydraulic flow (18.9 L/min / 5.0 gpm) than the Hürlimann XT 910.6 Turbo (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann XT 910.6 Turbo has 67% more forward gears (24 gears) than the VALMET 8100 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann XT 910.6 Turbo is newer: production began 9 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% 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 PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift and a creeper range.
