Hürlimann H-6200 Turbo or J.I. Case 2590?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the H-6200 Turbo has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2590 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Hürlimann H-6200 Turbo suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 19% (1,360 kg / 2,998 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-6200 Turbo is 19% heavier (1,360 kg / 2,998 lb) than the J.I. Case 2590 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-6200 Turbo has 200% more forward gears (24 gears) than the J.I. Case 2590 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-6200 Turbo offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the J.I. Case 2590 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Hürlimann H-6200 Turbo is available with four-wheel drive; the J.I. Case 2590 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the H-6200 Turbo has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2590 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the H-6200 Turbo: lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann H 6200 A”); the 2590: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case 2590”) — 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.
