SAME Golden 75 Compatto (SAME) or VALMET 4600?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the VALMET 4600: hydraulic flow and three-point lift. On features, the SAME Golden 75 Compatto is ahead on top speed and PTO speeds.
- The SAME Golden 75 Compatto suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The VALMET 4600 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 15% (5.1 L/min / 1.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 84% (1,305 kg / 2,877 lb) more three-point lift.
- The SAME Golden 75 Compatto 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.
