AGRIFULL A-90 DL-Turbo or Hürlimann 908 XT?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the A-90 DL-Turbo has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 908 XT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Hürlimann 908 XT suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 36% (12.5 L/min / 3.3 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.

- The Hürlimann 908 XT offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the AGRIFULL A-90 DL-Turbo 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 A-90 DL-Turbo has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 908 XT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the A-90 DL-Turbo: lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Agrifull A-90 DL”); the 908 XT: lift through the full range at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann XT 908”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- 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.
