Hürlimann H-6160 A or Massey Ferguson MF 1155?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level. On features, the Hürlimann H-6160A is ahead on PTO speeds and drive.
- The Hürlimann H-6160A suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 540 rpm.
- The Hürlimann H-6160A suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 21% (1,120 kg / 2,469 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
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-6160A is 21% heavier (1,120 kg / 2,469 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 1155 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-6160A offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Massey Ferguson 1155 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Hürlimann H-6160A is available with four-wheel drive; the Massey Ferguson 1155 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Hürlimann H-6160A 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.
- 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 difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
