Hürlimann H-466 (A) or International Harvester Hydro 84?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level.
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 Hürlimann H-466 (A) is 16% heavier (402 kg / 886 lb) than the International Harvester Hydro 84 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-466 (A) is newer: production began 6 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.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Hürlimann H-466 (A) has 15 to 24 forward gears and the International Harvester Hydro 84 is stepless (CVT) — not called.
- 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 PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the H-466 (A): lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann H 466”); the Hydro 84: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “IHC Hydro-84”) — 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
