The register lists 6 live models, from the H-56 XA to the H-100 XA, built between 2005 and 2014. Output ranges from 40.4 to 69.8 kW, or 55 to 95 hp, weight from 2,550 to 3,300 kg, displacement from 3,000 to 4,000 cm3, across three- and four-cylinder engines.

Compared with the previous XA generation, the third iteration extended peak output up to 95 hp with the H-100 XA, covering a somewhat wider field within the compact Hürlimann class.

Since several XA generations with similar type designations coexist in the register, the exact build year is decisive when buying used, to correctly identify the generation.

In this weight range of roughly 2.5 to 3.3 tonnes, the PTO is normally built to the standard speed of 540 rpm for this class, with the three-point linkage to ISO 730 usually in Category I or II – enough for the common implements on grassland and specialty-crop holdings. Since Hürlimann has shared drivetrain components with other group brands since the SLH era and later under SDF, spares for the third XA generation today run through the shared SDF group-wide dealer network.

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.
