Case-IH 845 XL (A) or Hürlimann XN-707?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH 845 XL (A): hydraulic flow. On features, the Hürlimann XN-707 is ahead on forward gears and top speed.
- The Case-IH 845 XL (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 30% (7.6 L/min / 2.0 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Hürlimann XN-707 suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) more top speed.
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 Case-IH 845 XL (A) has 30% more hydraulic flow (7.6 L/min / 2.0 gpm) than the Hürlimann XN-707 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH 845 XL (A) is 49% heavier (1,205 kg / 2,657 lb) than the Hürlimann XN-707 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann XN-707 has 181% more forward gears (29 gears) than the Case-IH 845 XL (A) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann XN-707 has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Case-IH 845 XL (A) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann XN-707 is newer: production began 8 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 PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 845 XL (A): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH 845XL”); the XN-707: lift through the full range at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann XN 707”) — 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.
