VALMET 365 (365-4) or ZETOR Proxima 6421/6441?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 365 (365-4) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Proxima 6421/6441 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The VALMET 365 (365-4) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 19% (8.7 L/min / 2.3 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 VALMET 365 (365-4) has 19% more hydraulic flow (8.7 L/min / 2.3 gpm) than the ZETOR Proxima 6421/6441 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR Proxima 6421/6441 is 11% heavier (310 kg / 683 lb) than the VALMET 365 (365-4) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR Proxima 6421/6441 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the VALMET 365 (365-4) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The ZETOR Proxima 6421/6441 is newer: production began 10 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 365 (365-4) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Proxima 6421/6441 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
