Unladen weight within it ranges from 1,980 to 8,500 kg; here the H-356 (A) sits at the bottom of that range with 2,460 kg. 54 SAME Lamborghini Hürlimann models across 9 series are on record.

Hürlimann H series: Swiss mountain engineering within the SLH group, from the D-470 (A) to the H-362 (A), 35.3 to 147.2 kW, three- to six-cylinder engines with air or water cooling

In 1979 SAME took over Swiss tractor builder Hürlimann, and together with Lamborghini, acquired back in 1973, formed the SAME-Lamborghini-Hürlimann (SLH) group. The H series bundles the models carried under the Hürlimann badge from this era, known for chassis engineering built for mountain and slope work.

The register lists 26 live models, from the D-470 (A) to the H-362 (A), built between 1979 and 2003. Output ranges from 35.3 to 147.2 kW, weight from 1,980 to 8,500 kg, displacement from 2,714 to 7,480 cm3, across three- to six-cylinder engines.

Characteristic of Hürlimann tractors from this period are standard four-wheel drive, a compact build height and a chassis tuned for Swiss terrain — the brand was already among the industry's 4WD pioneers even before the SLH era.

In 1995 the group also acquired Deutz-Fahr and has traded as SAME Deutz-Fahr (SDF) ever since — still the parent brand under which Hürlimann continues today.

Within the H series, the cooling method changes with engine size: the smaller two- and three-cylinder models ran air cooling, the larger four- to six-cylinder units water cooling – a sign that very different machines hide behind the same series name. When buying used, it is worth establishing the cooling method of the specific model first, since servicing and spares – a cooling fan here, a radiator and water pump there – differ fundamentally.

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.
