Hürlimann H-86 XA or ZETOR Proxima 8421/8441?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the ZETOR Proxima 8421/8441: maximum permissible mass. On features, the Hürlimann H-86 XA is ahead on forward gears.
- The ZETOR Proxima 8421/8441 suits road haulage better on this data: 31% (1,570 kg / 3,461 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 Proxima 8421/8441 has 31% higher maximum permissible mass (1,570 kg / 3,461 lb) than the Hürlimann H-86 XA (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-86 XA has 125% more forward gears (25 gears) than the ZETOR Proxima 8421/8441 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- 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 weight (both unladen weight, 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.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, a creeper range and PTO independence.
