SAME Galaxy 170 DT or VALMET 2105-4?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Galaxy 170 DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2105-4 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The SAME Galaxy 170 DT suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 25% (1,218 kg / 2,685 lb) more three-point lift.
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 SAME Galaxy 170 DT has 25% more lift (1,218 kg / 2,685 lb) than the VALMET 2105-4 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Galaxy 170 DT has 50% more forward gears (8 gears) than the VALMET 2105-4 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 2105-4 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the SAME Galaxy 170 DT does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on hydraulic flow (both pump flow, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 Galaxy 170 DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2105-4 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
