Hürlimann D-550 Hydrostat or Hürlimann H-6135?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the D-550 Hydrostat has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the H-6135 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Hürlimann H-6135 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 25% (13.0 L/min / 3.4 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 Hürlimann H-6135 has 25% more hydraulic flow (13.0 L/min / 3.4 gpm) than the Hürlimann D-550 Hydrostat (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-6135 is 17% heavier (730 kg / 1,609 lb) than the Hürlimann D-550 Hydrostat (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-6135 is newer: production began 8 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Hürlimann D-550 Hydrostat is stepless (CVT) and the Hürlimann H-6135 has 36 forward gears — not called.
- 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the D-550 Hydrostat has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the H-6135 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 D-550 Hydrostat: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann D 550 Hydrostat”); the H-6135: lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann H 6135”) — 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.
