Hürlimann 909 XT or Hürlimann H-496 Turbo (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 909 XT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the H-496 Turbo (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Hürlimann H-496 Turbo (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 11% (7.0 L/min / 1.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Hürlimann 909 XT 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 11% more hydraulic flow (7.0 L/min / 1.8 gpm) than the Hürlimann 909 XT (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann 909 XT is 11% heavier (440 kg / 970 lb) than the Hürlimann H-496 Turbo (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann 909 XT has 88% more forward gears (21 gears) than the Hürlimann H-496 Turbo (A) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann 909 XT 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 Hürlimann 909 XT is newer: production began 11 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 909 XT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the H-496 Turbo (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 909 XT: lift through the full range at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann XT 909”); 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.
