Hürlimann H-658 XA or John Deere 2700 (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the John Deere 2700 (A): maximum permissible mass. On features, the Hürlimann H-658 XA is ahead on forward gears.
- The John Deere 2700 (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 50% (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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The John Deere 2700 (A) is 42% heavier (1,125 kg / 2,480 lb) than the Hürlimann H-658 XA (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 2700 (A) has 50% higher maximum permissible mass (2,500 kg / 5,512 lb) than the Hürlimann H-658 XA (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-658 XA has 150% more forward gears (27 gears) than the John Deere 2700 (A) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-658 XA is newer: production began 7 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 hydraulic flow (both pump flow, 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 three-point lift: the H-658 XA: lift through the full range at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann XA 658”); the 2700 (A): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “John Deere 2700”) — 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.
