Landini R-9500 (DT) "TL 19 N/B" or VALMET 905-4?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the R-9500 (DT) "TL 19 N/B" has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 905-4 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The VALMET 905-4 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 36% (12.5 L/min / 3.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 34% (1,070 kg / 2,359 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 905-4 has 36% more hydraulic flow (12.5 L/min / 3.3 gpm) than the Landini R-9500 (DT) "TL 19 N/B" (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 905-4 has 34% more lift (1,070 kg / 2,359 lb) than the Landini R-9500 (DT) "TL 19 N/B" (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the R-9500 (DT) "TL 19 N/B" has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 905-4 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
