VALMET 6350 HiTech or VALMET 900?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 6350 HiTech has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 900 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The VALMET 6350 HiTech suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 26% (14.3 L/min / 3.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 66% (2,235 kg / 4,927 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 6350 HiTech has 26% more hydraulic flow (14.3 L/min / 3.8 gpm) than the VALMET 900 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 6350 HiTech has 66% more lift (2,235 kg / 4,927 lb) than the VALMET 900 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 6350 HiTech is 42% heavier (1,410 kg / 3,109 lb) than the VALMET 900 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 6350 HiTech has 125% more forward gears (20 gears) than the VALMET 900 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 6350 HiTech offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the VALMET 900 does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 6350 HiTech has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 900 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- 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.
