With the H-490 (A), SAME Lamborghini Hürlimann offers a model from the H series. Production: 1979–1983. The engine delivers 90 hp (66.2 kW), has 4 cylinders, with a displacement of 4,562 cm³. Torque is 352 Nm. Rated speed is 2,200 rpm. The machine is 4,230 mm long, 2,070 mm wide and 2,850 mm high. The unladen weight is 4,050 kg. The wheelbase measures 2,457 mm. Ground clearance is 350 mm. Top speed is 25 km/h. Transmission: 12V/3R, 20V/5R or 24V/6R. The engine is water-cooled. Tyres: front 9.00-16 ASF (A: 13.6/12-28 AS), rear 18.4/15-34 AS. The fuel is diesel. The bore measures 110 mm. The stroke is 120 mm. The compression ratio is 16.5:1. Maximum torque is reached at 1,300 rpm. Around 726 units were built. The H-Baureihe series covers 26 models. Rated output within it ranges from 48 to 200 hp; the H-490 (A) sits in the lower part of that range with 90 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the H-480 (A) below it with 82 hp and the H-496 Turbo (A) above it with 95 hp. Unladen weight within it ranges from 1,980 to 8,500 kg; here the H-490 (A) sits in the lower part of that range with 4,050 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.
