Hürlimann H-100 XA or Massey Ferguson MF 6255 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the H-100 XA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 6255 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 6255 (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 69% (3,600 kg / 7,937 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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 Massey Ferguson MF 6255 (A) is 27% heavier (895 kg / 1,973 lb) than the Hürlimann H-100 XA (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 6255 (A) has 69% higher maximum permissible mass (3,600 kg / 7,937 lb) than the Hürlimann H-100 XA (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-100 XA is newer: production began 10 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 H-100 XA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 6255 (A) 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 H-100 XA: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann XA 100”); the MF 6255 (A): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Massey Ferguson MF 6255”) — 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, hydraulic flow, a creeper range and PTO independence.
