Hürlimann H-355 (A) or SAME Minitaurus 60?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the SAME Minitaurus 60: three-point lift.
- The SAME Minitaurus 60 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 23% (388 kg / 855 lb) more three-point lift.
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 Minitaurus 60 has 23% more lift (388 kg / 855 lb) than the Hürlimann H-355 (A) (both lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Minitaurus 60 is 11% heavier (210 kg / 463 lb) than the Hürlimann H-355 (A) (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 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.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 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.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
