Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56 or Hürlimann H-496 Turbo (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Hürlimann H-496 Turbo (A): hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on forward gears. On features, the Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56 is ahead on top speed and PTO speeds.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 750 rpm.
- The Hürlimann H-496 Turbo (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 60% (25.6 L/min / 6.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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 Hürlimann H-496 Turbo (A) has 60% more hydraulic flow (25.6 L/min / 6.8 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-496 Turbo (A) has 33% more forward gears (6 gears) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56 has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Hürlimann H-496 Turbo (A) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56 offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the Hürlimann H-496 Turbo (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56 is newer: production began 7 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the AgroPrima 4.56: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56”); the H-496 Turbo (A): lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann H 496”) — 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.
