Hürlimann H-272 TA or SAME Aster 70 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the SAME Aster 70 (DT): hydraulic flow.
- The SAME Aster 70 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 98% (26.0 L/min / 6.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 Aster 70 (DT) has 98% more hydraulic flow (26.0 L/min / 6.9 gpm) than the Hürlimann H-272 TA (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-272 TA is 19% heavier (450 kg / 992 lb) than the SAME Aster 70 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- 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 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.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 Aster 70 (DT): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “SAME Aster 70”) — 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.
