John Deere 8210 or WHITE 6215?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 8210 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6215 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The John Deere 8210 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 17% (17.1 L/min / 4.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “similar machines”. 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 8210 has 17% more hydraulic flow (17.1 L/min / 4.5 gpm) than the WHITE 6215 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 8210 is 12% heavier (930 kg / 2,050 lb) than the WHITE 6215 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 8210 is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 8210 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6215 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No call on PTO speeds: sources disagree on the PTO speeds of the 8210.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
