Hürlimann H-6200 Turbo or Massey Ferguson MF 8160 A?
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 MF 8160 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Hürlimann H-6200 Turbo suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 22% (11.7 L/min / 3.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Hürlimann H-6200 Turbo suits road haulage better on this data: 28% (2,500 kg / 5,512 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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.

- The Massey Ferguson 8160A is newer: production began 13 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
