Hürlimann XN-706 specs: hp, weight, years

Hürlimann 1000.3 W-1 three-cylinder diesel or Same Deutz-Fahr Group 1000.3W1. The manufacturer claimed 59.3 horsepower. The only laboratory test on record is of one version: OECD Test 1814 measured 50.8 hp at the PTO of the XN 706 (4 WD). Compared at the engine's rated speed, where the brochure figure is quoted, the shaft gave 50.8 hp — 14.3% below the claim.
