Massey Ferguson MF 8150 A or WHITE 8610?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the MF 8150 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8610 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The WHITE 8610 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 115% (61.4 L/min / 16.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 59% (3,300 kg / 7,275 lb) more three-point lift.
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 WHITE 8610 has 115% more hydraulic flow (61.4 L/min / 16.2 gpm) than the Massey Ferguson 8150A (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 8610 has 59% more lift (3,300 kg / 7,275 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 8150A (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 8610 is 16% heavier (1,082 kg / 2,385 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 8150A (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson 8150A has 78% more forward gears (14 gears) than the WHITE 8610 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson 8150A offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the WHITE 8610 does not (as stated by the sources).
- 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.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the MF 8150 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8610 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.
