VALMET 205/205-4 or ZETOR 4911?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the VALMET 205/205-4: hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on top speed and drive. On features, the ZETOR 4911 is ahead on PTO speeds.
- The ZETOR 4911 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The VALMET 205/205-4 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 57% (14.2 L/min / 3.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 109% (1,305 kg / 2,877 lb) more three-point lift.
- The VALMET 205/205-4 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 25% (540 kg / 1,190 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The VALMET 205/205-4 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) more top speed.

- The VALMET 205/205-4 is newer: production began 12 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.
- 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.
