Hürlimann H-656 XA or ZETOR 7245 H?
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 7245 H has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The ZETOR 7245H suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 21% (9.8 L/min / 2.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Hürlimann H-656 XA 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 ZETOR 7245H has 21% more hydraulic flow (9.8 L/min / 2.6 gpm) than the Hürlimann H-656 XA (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 7245H is 48% heavier (1,235 kg / 2,723 lb) than the Hürlimann H-656 XA (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-656 XA has 125% more forward gears (25 gears) than the ZETOR 7245H (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-656 XA has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the ZETOR 7245H (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-656 XA is newer: production began 15 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 7245 H 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 7245 H: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Zetor 7245 H”) — 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
