Fendt Farmer 303 LSA or Hürlimann H-350 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Farmer 303 LSA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the H-350 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Farmer 303 LSA suits road haulage better on this data: 60% (15.0 km/h / 9.3 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 Fendt Farmer 303 LSA is 62% heavier (1,235 kg / 2,723 lb) than the Hürlimann H-350 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 303 LSA has 60% more top speed (15.0 km/h / 9.3 mph) than the Hürlimann H-350 (A) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 303 LSA offers 750 and 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Hürlimann H-350 (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- 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 Farmer 303 LSA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the H-350 (A) 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, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
