New Holland TSA 135 or VALMET 8350?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the TSA 135 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8350 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
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 New Holland TSA 135 has 26% more hydraulic flow (20.1 L/min / 5.3 gpm) than the VALMET 8350 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 8350 has 16% more lift (915 kg / 2,017 lb) than the New Holland TSA 135 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the TSA 135 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8350 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 and a creeper range.
