Massey Ferguson MF 8140 A or VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2105?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2105 is ahead on hydraulic flow; the Massey Ferguson MF 8140 A is ahead on three-point lift, maximum permissible mass and forward gears.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 8140 A suits road haulage better on this data: 34% (2,925 kg / 6,449 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 VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2105 has 14% more hydraulic flow (7.7 L/min / 2.0 gpm) than the Massey Ferguson MF 8140 A (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 8140 A has 18% more lift (858 kg / 1,892 lb) than the VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2105 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 8140 A has 34% higher maximum permissible mass (2,925 kg / 6,449 lb) than the VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2105 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 8140 A has 100% more forward gears (16 gears) than the VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2105 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 8140 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% 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 speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- 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 and a creeper range.
