New Holland 4835 or VALMET 4400?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the New Holland 4835: hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on forward gears and PTO speeds.
- The New Holland 4835 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The New Holland 4835 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 18% (7.0 L/min / 1.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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.
