Steyr 370 Kompakt or VALMET 6000-4?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the VALMET 6000-4: hydraulic flow, three-point lift and maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on PTO speeds.
- The VALMET 6000-4 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The VALMET 6000-4 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 54% (28.0 L/min / 7.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 63% (1,685 kg / 3,715 lb) more three-point lift.
- The VALMET 6000-4 suits road haulage better on this data: 35% (1,700 kg / 3,748 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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 VALMET 6000-4 has 54% more hydraulic flow (28.0 L/min / 7.4 gpm) than the Steyr 370 Kompakt (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 6000-4 has 63% more lift (1,685 kg / 3,715 lb) than the Steyr 370 Kompakt (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).

- The VALMET 6000-4 has 35% higher maximum permissible mass (1,700 kg / 3,748 lb) than the Steyr 370 Kompakt (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 6000-4 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Steyr 370 Kompakt does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Steyr 370 Kompakt is newer: production began 11 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
