Hürlimann 909 XT or New Holland 8160?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the New Holland 8160: hydraulic flow. On features, the Hürlimann 909 XT is ahead on forward gears.
- The New Holland 8160 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 63% (38.6 L/min / 10.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 New Holland 8160 has 63% more hydraulic flow (38.6 L/min / 10.2 gpm) than the Hürlimann 909 XT (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland 8160 is 22% heavier (950 kg / 2,094 lb) than the Hürlimann 909 XT (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann 909 XT has 88% more forward gears (21 gears) than the New Holland 8160 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- 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 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 8160: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “New Holland 8160”) — 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.
