Steyr 1400 a or VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 1400 a has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Volvo 2005 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 53% (21.6 L/min / 5.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005 has 53% more hydraulic flow (21.6 L/min / 5.7 gpm) than the Steyr 1400a (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005 is 12% heavier (675 kg / 1,488 lb) than the Steyr 1400a (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Steyr 1400a does not (as stated by the sources).
- The VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005 is newer: production began 11 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% 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 PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 1400 a has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Volvo 2005 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 and a creeper range.
