Landini 8830 (DT) TL-23 N/E (TL-23 DT/F) or VALMET 4600?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the VALMET 4600: hydraulic flow. On features, the Landini 8830 (DT) TL-23 N/E (TL-23 DT/F) is ahead on PTO speeds.
- The Landini 8830 (DT) TL-23 N/E (TL-23 DT/F) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The VALMET 4600 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 10% (3.7 L/min / 1.0 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 4600 has 10% more hydraulic flow (3.7 L/min / 1.0 gpm) than the Landini 8830 (DT) TL-23 N/E (TL-23 DT/F) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 4600 is 12% heavier (330 kg / 728 lb) than the Landini 8830 (DT) TL-23 N/E (TL-23 DT/F) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Landini 8830 (DT) TL-23 N/E (TL-23 DT/F) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the VALMET 4600 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The VALMET 4600 is newer: production began 10 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 three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, 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 difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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.
