Hürlimann XA 657 or New Holland TN-75 D/S (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the XA 657 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TN-75 D/S (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The New Holland TN-75 D/S (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 39% (13.3 L/min / 3.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Hürlimann XA 657 suits road haulage better on this data: 14% (600 kg / 1,323 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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.
