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.
