John Deere 2700 (A) or VALMET 6250 HiTech?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the VALMET 6250 HiTech: hydraulic flow, three-point lift and maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on forward gears.
- The VALMET 6250 HiTech suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 57% (26.8 L/min / 7.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 29% (1,290 kg / 2,844 lb) more three-point lift.
- The VALMET 6250 HiTech suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (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.
