Massey Ferguson MF 6245 (A) or VALMET 755/755-4?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level. On features, the Massey Ferguson MF 6245 (A) is ahead on top speed and PTO speeds.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 6245 (A) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 6245 (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) more top speed.
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 Massey Ferguson MF 6245 (A) has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the VALMET 755/755-4 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 6245 (A) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the VALMET 755/755-4 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 6245 (A) 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 weight (both unladen weight, 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 PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
