John Deere 5410 (A) or VALMET 6100-4?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the VALMET 6100-4: hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on PTO speeds.
- The VALMET 6100-4 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The VALMET 6100-4 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 30% (18.6 L/min / 4.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 166% (2,715 kg / 5,986 lb) more 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 VALMET 6100-4 has 30% more hydraulic flow (18.6 L/min / 4.9 gpm) than the John Deere 5410 (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 6100-4 has 166% more lift (2,715 kg / 5,986 lb) than the John Deere 5410 (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 6100-4 is 47% heavier (1,279 kg / 2,820 lb) than the John Deere 5410 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 6100-4 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the John Deere 5410 (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The John Deere 5410 (A) is newer: production began 6 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 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 figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
