New Holland TM 150 (Traktorenlexikon) or VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the New Holland TM 150: hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on top speed.
- The New Holland TM 150 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 89% (55.6 L/min / 14.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 47% (2,236 kg / 4,930 lb) more three-point lift.
- The New Holland TM 150 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.
