Hürlimann XA 657: water-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine with 4,000 cc displacement, 72 hp (52.9 kW), 231 Nm torque and a top speed of 40 km/h as an all-round mountain tractor
Hürlimann is a Swiss tractor manufacturer whose models have long been designed for work in mountain and hill terrain — with a low centre of gravity, narrow track and good traction on slopes. The brand is now part of the SDF group, which also includes Deutz-Fahr and Same.

The water-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine of 4,000 cc produces 72 hp (52.9 kW) at 2,350 rpm and 231 Nm of torque. At an unladen weight of 2,660 kilograms, a wheelbase of 2,186 millimetres and a width of 1,930 millimetres, this is a medium-sized all-round tractor with a design top speed of 40 km/h.
At a top speed of 40 km/h, the machine falls into the upper part of driving licence category T. Tractors of this class usually transmit power through a rear three-point linkage to ISO 730 and a standardised power take-off running at 540 or 1,000 rpm, so that mounted implements fit regardless of manufacturer.
When buying a used Hürlimann of this age, it is worth checking the hydraulic pump and PTO clutch for tightness and wear, as well as the condition of the four-wheel-drive hub and steering joints, which are subject to greater loads in mountain work. Corrosion on the wings and cab, and the service history of the clutch, should also be checked. The condition of the cab mounts and door seals is worth checking too, as rust often starts there on tractors used in wet mountain conditions.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
