Hürlimann H-656 XA or John Deere 2200 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the H-656 XA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2200 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Hürlimann H-656 XA suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 14% (5.8 L/min / 1.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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-656 XA has 14% more hydraulic flow (5.8 L/min / 1.5 gpm) than the John Deere 2200 (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 2200 (A) is 22% heavier (565 kg / 1,246 lb) than the Hürlimann H-656 XA (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-656 XA has 350% more forward gears (35 gears) than the John Deere 2200 (A) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-656 XA is newer: production began 6 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% 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).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the H-656 XA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2200 (A) 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-656 XA: lift through the full range at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann XA 656”); the 2200 (A): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “John Deere 2200”) — 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
