Hürlimann H-658 XA or ZETOR 95?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the ZETOR 95: hydraulic flow and maximum permissible mass. On features, the Hürlimann H-658 XA is ahead on forward gears.
- The ZETOR 95 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 31% (14.0 L/min / 3.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The ZETOR 95 suits road haulage better on this data: 60% (3,000 kg / 6,614 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 ZETOR 95 has 31% more hydraulic flow (14.0 L/min / 3.7 gpm) than the Hürlimann H-658 XA (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 95 is 75% heavier (2,000 kg / 4,409 lb) than the Hürlimann H-658 XA (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 95 has 60% higher maximum permissible mass (3,000 kg / 6,614 lb) than the Hürlimann H-658 XA (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-658 XA has 88% more forward gears (21 gears) than the ZETOR 95 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 95 is newer: production began 9 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 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 95: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Zetor Forterra 95”) — 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.
