Hürlimann D-150 S or J.I. Case 411?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the J.I. Case 411: hydraulic flow. On features, the Hürlimann D-150S is ahead on top speed and PTO speeds.
- The Hürlimann D-150S suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The J.I. Case 411 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 42% (13.4 L/min / 3.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Hürlimann D-150S 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 J.I. Case 411 has 42% more hydraulic flow (13.4 L/min / 3.5 gpm) than the Hürlimann D-150S (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The J.I. Case 411 is 16% heavier (386 kg / 851 lb) than the Hürlimann D-150S (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann D-150S has 25% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the J.I. Case 411 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann D-150S offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the J.I. Case 411 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Hürlimann D-150S is newer: production began 11 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.
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
