Fiat 1000 Super (TD) or Hürlimann D 800?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Fiat 1000 Super (TD): three-point lift. It is also ahead on top speed, PTO speeds, PTO independence and drive.
- The Fiat 1000 Super (TD) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm and an independent PTO.
- The Fiat 1000 Super (TD) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 28% (700 kg / 1,543 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Fiat 1000 Super (TD) suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (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 Fiat 1000 Super (TD) has 28% more lift (700 kg / 1,543 lb) than the Hürlimann D 800 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann D 800 is 45% heavier (1,630 kg / 3,594 lb) than the Fiat 1000 Super (TD) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 1000 Super (TD) has 25% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Hürlimann D 800 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 1000 Super (TD) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Hürlimann D 800 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Fiat 1000 Super (TD) has an independent PTO; the Hürlimann D 800’s is live.
- The Fiat 1000 Super (TD) is available with four-wheel drive; the Hürlimann D 800 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Fiat 1000 Super (TD) is newer: production began 12 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 forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
