Hürlimann H-481 XF: water-cooled four-cylinder tractor rated at 58.9 kW and 2,700 kg weight from the XF range built between 1992 and 2000
Hürlimann was an independent Swiss tractor brand that became part of the same corporate group as SAME, Deutz-Fahr and Lamborghini and continued under its own name. The XF range, with the H-481 XF model, occupied a mid-power segment within it, aimed at mixed farms.

The H-481 XF is powered by a water-cooled four-cylinder engine of 4,000 cc, producing 58.9 kW (80 hp) at 2,350 rpm with 258 Nm of torque. At a weight of 2,700 kg, a wheelbase of 2,082 mm and a width of 1,560 mm, the tractor reaches a design top speed of 40 km/h. Height stands at 2,430 mm and length at 3,797 mm. The engine runs on diesel.
A four-cylinder of four litres at a comparatively light weight of 2,700 kg marks a light-to-medium field tractor, the kind used for tillage and drawbar work of moderate force. The 40 km/h top speed requires the German T driving licence category, the power take-off runs at the standard 540 or 1,000 rpm, and the three-point hitch follows ISO 730, typically fitted with category 1 or 2 implements at this weight.
Buying a used four-cylinder this old, the injection system, the cooling system and hydraulic tightness deserve particular attention. Also worth checking at inspection are the sheet metal for rust damage, the condition of the PTO bearings, the clutch and weighing recorded hours against overall condition.

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.
