Hürlimann D-180 (A) or J.I. Case 841?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the J.I. Case 841: hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on top speed. On features, the Hürlimann D-180 (A) is ahead on drive.
- The J.I. Case 841 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 63% (22.7 L/min / 6.0 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Hürlimann D-180 (A) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
- The J.I. Case 841 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.

| Which is newer, and what about parts? | 1973–1974 | 1960–1969 | Ahead (a fact, not an advantage)The Hürlimann D-180 (A) is newer: production began 13 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts. |
What does this mean in plain words?
- The J.I. Case 841 has 63% more hydraulic flow (22.7 L/min / 6.0 gpm) than the Hürlimann D-180 (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The J.I. Case 841 has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Hürlimann D-180 (A) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann D-180 (A) is available with four-wheel drive; the J.I. Case 841 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Hürlimann D-180 (A) is newer: production began 13 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, 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 PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- 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.
