Hürlimann H-360 (A) or SAME Falcon 50?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Hürlimann H-360 (A): hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on forward gears and PTO speeds.
- The Hürlimann H-360 (A) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Hürlimann H-360 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 88% (15.8 L/min / 4.2 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.

| Which is newer, and what about parts? | 1979–1983 | 1974–1987 | Ahead (a fact, not an advantage)The Hürlimann H-360 (A) is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts. |
What does this mean in plain words?
- The Hürlimann H-360 (A) has 88% more hydraulic flow (15.8 L/min / 4.2 gpm) than the SAME Falcon 50 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-360 (A) is 18% heavier (360 kg / 794 lb) than the SAME Falcon 50 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-360 (A) has 50% more forward gears (4 gears) than the SAME Falcon 50 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-360 (A) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the SAME Falcon 50 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Hürlimann H-360 (A) is newer: production began 5 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
