VALMET 6250 HiTech or ZETOR 8641 (2002-2007)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the VALMET 6250 HiTech: hydraulic flow and maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on forward gears. On features, the ZETOR 8641 (2002-2007) is ahead on PTO speeds.
- The ZETOR 8641 (2002-2007) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 750 rpm.
- The VALMET 6250 HiTech suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 29% (16.5 L/min / 4.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The VALMET 6250 HiTech suits road haulage better on this data: 34% (2,300 kg / 5,071 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 6250 HiTech has 29% more hydraulic flow (16.5 L/min / 4.4 gpm) than the ZETOR 8641 (2002-2007) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 6250 HiTech has 34% higher maximum permissible mass (2,300 kg / 5,071 lb) than the ZETOR 8641 (2002-2007) (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 6250 HiTech has 50% more forward gears (12 gears) than the ZETOR 8641 (2002-2007) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 8641 (2002-2007) offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the VALMET 6250 HiTech does not (as stated by the sources).
- 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 three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power and a creeper range.
