OLIVER 1355 (4 WD) or URSUS C-360?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the URSUS C-360: hydraulic flow. On features, the OLIVER 1355 (4 WD) is ahead on drive.
- The URSUS C-360 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 21% (4.5 L/min / 1.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The OLIVER 1355 (4 WD) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
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.

| Which may carry more ballast and load? | — | — | No figureNo call on maximum permissible mass: no figure on record for the 1355 (4 WD) and the C-360. |
| Which has the wider choice of gears? | 8 to 12Traktorenlexikon, “Oliver 1355” | 10Traktorenlexikon, “Ursus C-360” | EvenEven on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap. |
| Which offers a creeper range? | — | — | No figureNo call on a creeper range: not stated for the 1355 (4 WD) and the C-360. |

| Which PTO runs independently of the ground drive? | — | independentTraktorenlexikon, “Ursus C-360” | No figureNo call on PTO independence: not stated for the 1355 (4 WD). |
| Which drives on both axles? | Two-wheel or four-wheel driveTraktorenlexikon, “Oliver 1355” | 2WDTraktorenlexikon, “Ursus C-360” | AheadThe OLIVER 1355 (4 WD) is available with four-wheel drive; the URSUS C-360 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources). |
| Which is newer, and what about parts? | 1969–1971 | 1976–1994 | Ahead (a fact, not an advantage)The URSUS C-360 is newer: production began 7 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts. |
What does this mean in plain words?
- The URSUS C-360 has 21% more hydraulic flow (4.5 L/min / 1.2 gpm) than the OLIVER 1355 (4 WD) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The OLIVER 1355 (4 WD) is available with four-wheel drive; the URSUS C-360 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The URSUS C-360 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 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.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
