VALMET 505/505-4 or ZETOR 6321/6341 Super?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the VALMET 505/505-4: three-point lift.
- The VALMET 505/505-4 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 26% (815 kg / 1,797 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 505/505-4 has 26% more lift (815 kg / 1,797 lb) than the ZETOR 6321/6341 Super (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 505/505-4 is 13% heavier (395 kg / 871 lb) than the ZETOR 6321/6341 Super (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 6321/6341 Super is newer: production began 14 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.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
