VALMET 2005-4 or VOLVO-BM 2654?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the VALMET 2005-4: hydraulic flow and three-point lift.
- The VALMET 2005-4 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 33% (15.6 L/min / 4.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 39% (1,320 kg / 2,910 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 VALMET 2005-4 has 33% more hydraulic flow (15.6 L/min / 4.1 gpm) than the VOLVO-BM 2654 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 2005-4 has 39% more lift (1,320 kg / 2,910 lb) than the VOLVO-BM 2654 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The VOLVO-BM 2654 is 18% heavier (1,165 kg / 2,568 lb) than the VALMET 2005-4 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 2005-4 is newer: production began 8 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 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 speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- 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.
