Hyundai HX85A vs Yanmar ViO35-6

The Hyundai HX85A is about 143% heavier than the Yanmar ViO35-6 (8,500 vs 3,500 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Hyundai and Yanmar in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
