Ford 5600 (A) or Hürlimann H-466 (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level.
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 Ford 5600 (A) is 14% heavier (410 kg / 904 lb) than the Hürlimann H-466 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-466 (A) 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 forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, 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 5600 (A): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Ford 5600”); the H-466 (A): lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann H 466”) — 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
