Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial or International Harvester 464?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the International Harvester 464: three-point lift. It is also ahead on top speed, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
- The International Harvester 464 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm and an independent PTO.
- The International Harvester 464 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 36% (400 kg / 882 lb) more three-point lift.
- The International Harvester 464 suits road haulage better on this data: 80% (16.0 km/h / 9.9 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 International Harvester 464 has 36% more lift (400 kg / 882 lb) than the Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 464 is 52% heavier (797 kg / 1,757 lb) than the Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 464 has 80% more top speed (16.0 km/h / 9.9 mph) than the Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 464 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial does not (as stated by the sources).
- The International Harvester 464 has an independent PTO; the Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial’s is dependent (stops with the clutch).
- The International Harvester 464 is newer: production began 15 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
