John Deere 6630 or VALMET 8200?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 6630 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8200 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The John Deere 6630 suits road haulage better on this data: 27% (2,000 kg / 4,409 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The John Deere 6630 is 12% heavier (550 kg / 1,213 lb) than the VALMET 8200 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 6630 has 27% higher maximum permissible mass (2,000 kg / 4,409 lb) than the VALMET 8200 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 6630 is newer: production began 14 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 6630 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8200 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No call on forward gears: sources disagree on the figure for the 6630.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, a creeper range and PTO independence.
