Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial or SAME Minitauro 50?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level. On features, the SAME Minitauro 50 is ahead on top speed and drive.
- The SAME Minitauro 50 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 14% (220 kg / 485 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The SAME Minitauro 50 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 SAME Minitauro 50 is 14% heavier (220 kg / 485 lb) than the Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Minitauro 50 has 25% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Minitauro 50 is available with four-wheel drive; the Hürlimann D-70 Super-Spezial is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The SAME Minitauro 50 is newer: production began 9 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 PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
