Hürlimann H-6160 A or International Harvester 1086?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Hürlimann H-6160 A: hydraulic flow. On features, the International Harvester 1086 is ahead on top speed.
- The Hürlimann H-6160 A suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 28% (12.6 L/min / 3.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The International Harvester 1086 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) more top speed.
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-6160 A has 28% more hydraulic flow (12.6 L/min / 3.3 gpm) than the International Harvester 1086 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-6160 A is 12% heavier (678 kg / 1,495 lb) than the International Harvester 1086 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 1086 has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Hürlimann H-6160 A (both top speed forward, 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 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.
- 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.
