New Holland TM 115 (Traktorenlexikon) or VALMET 6600-4 (6600E)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the TM 115 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6600-4 (6600E) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The New Holland TM 115 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 47% (38.0 L/min / 10.0 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 12% (695 kg / 1,532 lb) more three-point lift.
- The New Holland TM 115 suits road haulage better on this data: 13% (1,000 kg / 2,205 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.
