Ford 6700 or Hürlimann 7700?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 6700 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 7700 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Hürlimann 7700 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 24% (470 kg / 1,036 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Ford 6700 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 “similar machines”. 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 7700 has 24% more lift (470 kg / 1,036 lb) than the Ford 6700 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 6700 is 24% heavier (710 kg / 1,565 lb) than the Hürlimann 7700 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 6700 has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Hürlimann 7700 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 6700 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Hürlimann 7700 does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 6700 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 7700 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
