J.I. Case 4494 or VALMET 8750?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the VALMET 8750: hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on forward gears and top speed.
- The VALMET 8750 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 26% (15.5 L/min / 4.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The VALMET 8750 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The VALMET 8750 has 26% more hydraulic flow (15.5 L/min / 4.1 gpm) than the J.I. Case 4494 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The J.I. Case 4494 is 76% heavier (4,093 kg / 9,024 lb) than the VALMET 8750 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 8750 has 200% more forward gears (24 gears) than the J.I. Case 4494 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 8750 has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the J.I. Case 4494 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 8750 is newer: production began 11 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 PTO speeds: the same speeds (1000 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 4494: lift through the full range 610 mm behind the ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case 4494”); the 8750: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Valmet Mega-8750”) — 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, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
