Hürlimann H-272 TA or Leyland 272?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Leyland 272: hydraulic flow. On features, the Hürlimann H-272 TA is ahead on PTO speeds and drive.
- The Hürlimann H-272 TA suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Leyland 272 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 20% (5.2 L/min / 1.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Hürlimann H-272 TA suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
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.

| Which drives on both axles? | 4WDTraktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann H 372” | 2WDTraktorenlexikon, “Leyland 272” | AheadThe Hürlimann H-272 TA is available with four-wheel drive; the Leyland 272 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources). |
| Which is newer, and what about parts? | 1989–1996 | 1975–1980 | Ahead (a fact, not an advantage)The Hürlimann H-272 TA is newer: production began 14 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts. |
What does this mean in plain words?
- The Leyland 272 has 20% more hydraulic flow (5.2 L/min / 1.4 gpm) than the Hürlimann H-272 TA (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-272 TA offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Leyland 272 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Hürlimann H-272 TA is available with four-wheel drive; the Leyland 272 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Hürlimann H-272 TA is newer: production began 14 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the H-272 TA: lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann H 372”); the 272: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Leyland 272”) — 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.
