IMT 569 De Luxe or VOLVO-BM-VALMET 405 (405/4)?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the VOLVO-BM-VALMET 405 (405/4) is ahead on hydraulic flow; the IMT 569 De Luxe is ahead on three-point lift.
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 VOLVO-BM-VALMET 405 (405/4) has 144% more hydraulic flow (21.6 L/min / 5.7 gpm) than the IMT 569 De Luxe (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The IMT 569 De Luxe has 40% more lift (725 kg / 1,598 lb) than the VOLVO-BM-VALMET 405 (405/4) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- 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 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 difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 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.
- 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.
