Hürlimann T-6200 Turbo (A) or SOMECA 680 (TD)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Hürlimann T-6200 Turbo (A): hydraulic flow. On features, the SOMECA 680 (TD) is ahead on PTO speeds.
- The SOMECA 680 (TD) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Hürlimann T-6200 Turbo (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 40% (10.2 L/min / 2.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “similar machines”. 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 T-6200 Turbo (A) has 40% more hydraulic flow (10.2 L/min / 2.7 gpm) than the SOMECA 680 (TD) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The SOMECA 680 (TD) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Hürlimann T-6200 Turbo (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
