Hürlimann

In 1976, Hürlimann did what should have been done 10 years earlier: changed the design of their tractors to a more angular style. The smallest model in the larger series was the 7700 (77 hp). Its 4.4-liter engine had been increased to 4.9 liters. The turbo version, the T-9200, had 92 hp. The transmission options included a 10+2 gearbox, with the highest gears now synchronized, and a fully synchronized 12+6 gearbox. Hydrostatic steering was now standard. The four-wheel-drive models featured a ZF front axle with a center driveshaft. At this stage in Switzerland, tractors were still largely without cabins, and the available cabins were fairly basic. The basic version came with a rollover protection frame, on which glass and doors could be installed.

At the top of the range, the successor to the Mercedes-engined D 550 was named the T-14000.

Hürlimann 7700 – T-14000

Hürlimann finally decided to modernize the design of their tractors in 1976-77. Hydrostatic steering was an optional or standard feature. The new ZF front axles in the four-wheel-drive models had the differential in the center. Hydraulic output was slightly increased, and the modest 40-liter fuel tanks were enlarged to 55 liters. Otherwise, the technology remained unchanged. The 2.9-liter engine had a power output of 52 hp, and with a turbo, 62 hp. The basic transmission was 10+2, with the highest gears now synchronized. An alternative was a fully synchronized 12+6.

In 1958 the Hürlimann D 65, D 70 and D 90 models were introduced. Buyers could choose the color—either the new red or the earlier green. All three models were equipped with a 2.6-liter engine developing about 45 hp. The D 70 and D 90 featured a dual clutch, a weight-transfer system and larger wheels. The D 65 and D 70 had a 7 + 1 gearbox with more low-speed gears than before, plus two additional creep gears. The D 90 came with a 10 + 2 gearbox. The electrical system was upgraded to 12 volts. The D 70 and D 90 are the most-produced tractors in Hürlimann’s history, with 2 000 and 2 800 units built, respectively.

In 1960 the D 120 joined the lineup, replacing the earlier D 100. Its 4.4-liter engine delivered 65 hp (SAE).

In its later production years the D 90 was also offered with four-wheel drive. The 4WD version came standard with a 1 000 rpm power take-off.

In 1964 Hürlimann once again targeted the large South American tractor market by unveiling the 95 hp D 800.

In 1972, the Hürlimann D 200 was replaced by the D 210. The most significant changes were an increase in engine power to 77 horsepower and a more efficient lifting device. A synchromesh transmission (12+6) was standard. In 1973, the D 180 and D 310 were introduced alongside it, also available with a 10+2 transmission. In 1975, a turbocharged version of the 310 was offered, with a power output of 100 hp. The 40-liter fuel tanks were really small for a tractor of this size. At the top of the model range was the 135-horsepower D 550, whose production remained limited to just a few units. The D 550 featured a hydrostatic drive transmission.

Hürlimann D 180  – D 550

Hürlimann did not switch to a modern, angular design even in the 1970s, but stuck with the styling line developed in 1955. As a whole, the D 95 and D 110 differed only slightly from the D 100, which had remained alongside them in the early phase. The engines offered more torque than before. In the D 110 the displacement was increased to 2.9 liters, and the road speed was raised to 27 km/h.

In 1972 the D 115 T, equipped with a Holset turbocharger, was introduced; its power was boosted from 55 to 60 horsepower thanks to the turbo. As an option, a 12+6 Synchromatic gearbox was available for the D 110 and D 115 T models.

Models D 65 – D 90 replaced the D 100 ’S’ in 1966. The 45-horsepower engine and the 10+2 gearbox remained the same. The lifting capacity was increased to 1850 kilograms, and the Bosch hydraulic pump was promised to be more efficient than before. A standard 1050 rpm power take-off was included. The wheelbase was 24 cm longer than before.

The D 120 was replaced by the D 150 ’S’ (58 hp). Its improvements included a suspended front axle, hydrostatic steering, and updated hydraulics. The D 200 ’S’ was the same tractor with 65 horsepower and a slower gearbox. In 1969, Synchromatic parallel models of the D 150 and D 200 were introduced, featuring 12+6 gears.

All of these models were also available in a four-wheel-drive version. The axle was from ZF, and the four-wheel drive could be engaged on the move.

Around the year 1955, the Hürlimanns received a new appearance. The round front grille had horizontal slats. The D 60 Spezial was identical to the petrol tractor H 10 except for the engine. Compared to its predecessor, the D 60, it was taller and had a shorter wheelbase. The traditionally used worm gear behind the Hürlimanns was abandoned in favor of a standard gear transmission. It had 5+1 gears. The three-point hitch was now standard. New additions included an hour meter and a thermostat in the cooling system.

A more significant development was the D 80 Super-Spezial, which featured a dual clutch and a 10+2 gear transmission with a range splitter. In 1956, a version of the D 80 equipped with a Roots supercharger was introduced, delivering 38 hp.

In 1957, the D 100 Super-Spezial was introduced, a 4.0-liter model with a 10+2 gear transmission.

More from this manufacturer

The Swiss company Hürlimann began tractor manufacturing in 1929. Ten years later, they switched to direct injection diesels produced under license from the Saurer truck manufacturer. At this stage, Hürlimann had established itself as the Rolls-Royce of tractors, as a competing tractor manufacturer, Samen Cassani, put it. During the war years, Hürlimann's production continued almost normally, despite shortages of raw materials and fuel. In 1945 and 1946, Switzerland organized Hürlimann columns to aid agriculture in France and Italy.

After the war, in 1946, Hürlimann introduced a new range featuring diesel engines designed in-house for the first time. Partly due to poor availability of parts, Hürlimann produced many components themselves; for example, the headlights used homemade plexiglass instead of glass lenses. The electrical system was 24 volts. The first new models were the 45-horsepower, 4-cylinder D100 and D200. The latter had, among other things, larger rear wheels, a stronger gearbox, and a bent front axle. The transmission was 5+1. Soon after followed the 65-horsepower D300 as well as industrial models D400 (45 hp) and D500 (65 hp), which could reach maximum speeds of 45 km/h. In 1948, the 2-cylinder D50 was introduced, producing 28 hp. At this stage, Hürlimann tractors had the clutch pedal on the right and the brake on the left. The D50 featured steering brakes as a novelty. The differential lock was standard. The lift device was optional and did not conform to later standards.

In 1951, Hürlimann introduced the heavy-duty D600 model, primarily aimed at the South American market. The engine was the same as in the D300, but the size and weight were substantially greater.

The D50 was replaced in 1952 by models D60 and D80, which were lighter in construction than their predecessor but longer and equipped with a small four-cylinder diesel engine.

Hürlimann D50-D600

Hürlimann had completely switched to the production of diesel tractors in 1939, but in 1950 it was decided to reintroduce a petrol tractor to the lineup. The H 20 was equipped with a 4.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that produced 32 hp. In terms of basic construction, it was based on the D100 model. In 1952, the H 10, H 12, H 17, and H 19 replaced it. The smaller models still had 4-cylinder engines, but they were significantly smaller. The H 17 and H 19 had 45 hp, which was considerably more than the H 20. Technically, the petrol Hürlimanns were otherwise similar to the diesel models, but the electrical system in the H 10 – H 19 models was 6 volts. There were 5+1 gears, and the lifting device was an optional accessory. The lifting device was now compliant with the standard.

For the final year, the H 10 and H 12 received horizontally ribbed grills and rear gear drives in accordance with the new models.

In 1979, Hürlimann celebrated its 50th anniversary, and the event was marked by renewing the entire lineup and changing the color of the products from red to light green. The engines were also from an entirely new series. The development of the lineup had begun before the Swiss factory was acquired by Same in 1977, so there were still few technical similarities. However, the front axles of the four-wheel-drive models were manufactured by Same.

The smallest model, the H-360, had a 3.4-liter 3-cylinder engine, and the H-470 was the smallest model equipped with a 4.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The transmission was fully synchronized with 12+3 speeds. In these models, the cab was an optional accessory, but the floor was flat. Power take-off engagement was quite rare technology in this size category.

In 1979, Hürlimann celebrated its 50th anniversary, and the event was marked by renewing the entire model range and changing the products' color from red to light green. The engines were also an entirely new series. Development of the model range had begun before the Swiss factory was acquired by Same in 1977, so there were still few technical similarities. However, the front axles of the four-wheel-drive models were made by Same.

The H-6130 and H-6160 were equipped with a 6.8-liter engine, which was later also used in Lamborghini and Same’s largest models. The H-6160’s engine was turbocharged. Instead of the four basic gears found in smaller models, the transmission had only three basic gears, with a total of 12+4 gears.

The lifting capacity of the H-6130 was the same 4 tons as in the mid-range models. The output of the standard hydraulics was not specified, but a more powerful 65-liter pump was available as an option. Considering these figures, it is surprising that the tractor’s weight is one ton heavier than the 115-horsepower model. The H-6160 came standard with a more powerful pump and a 6-ton lifting capacity.

The series also included the H-6200 with a 7.5-liter engine (200 hp), but only two units were produced. It had a 36+12 transmission and a lifting capacity of 7,500 kg. Sales of Hürlimann tractors outside their home country were hindered by higher prices compared to competing brands. These models were indeed the last tractors manufactured in Switzerland.

In 1979, Hürlimann celebrated its 50th anniversary, and the event was commemorated by renewing the entire product range and changing the products' color from red to light green. The engines were also an entirely new series. The development of the range had begun before the Swiss factory was transferred to the ownership of Same in 1977, so there were still few technical similarities. However, the front axles of the four-wheel-drive models were manufactured by Same.

The H-480 and H-490 were largely similar to each other. The 4.6-liter engine was equipped with a turbo only in the more powerful model. The engines were water-cooled, and torque increased by 20%. The gearbox was fully synchronized with 12+3 speeds, and in the base version, the road speed was limited to 25 km/h. The H-490 was also available with a fast-shift option. Unlike the smaller models, the brakes were oil-bath type, and the lifting power was significantly greater. The lifting device was equipped with draft sensing on the lift arms. These models came standard with a high De Luxe cab.

In 1980, the world's perhaps only 5-cylinder turbocharged tractor, the Hürlimann H-5110, was introduced. Its 5.7-liter engine had 115 horsepower. Otherwise, the tractor was mostly similar to the H-490.

The H-480 was initially a four-wheel-drive model with a long wheelbase, but in 1984, the wheelbase was shortened, and the road speed was increased.

In 1982, small Hürlimanns made in Italy were introduced, equipped with Same engines. The H-345 and H-350 had a 2.7-liter engine (47 and 52 hp), and the H-355 had a 3.1-liter engine (58 hp). Air cooling was not new to Hürlimann, as it had previously been used in their smallest own engines. However, Hürlimann had not manufactured a tractor this small since the early 1970s. The gearbox was fully synchronized, with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears.

The Hürlimann H-496 and H-5116, introduced in 1984, were related models to the Same Laser and were manufactured at the Same factory. However, the engines were Hürlimann's own water-cooled designs: a 4.6-liter four-cylinder in the smaller model and a 5.7-liter five-cylinder in the larger one. Both engines were turbocharged, although especially in the five-cylinder the power output was low relative to the displacement. The transmission featured either a mechanical shuttle with 24+12 speeds or a creeper gear setup with 20+12 speeds. The hydraulic performance matched that of the Same, and the cab was also the same.

The unification of the large Hürlimanns with Same and Lamborghini was a topical issue in 1984. The largest model in the range, the H-6170, was technically very close to the Same Galaxy and the Lamborghini 1706, the latter of which also used the same Hürlimann engine. The smaller H-6136 was, unlike the sister brands, also equipped with the same engine but had the 24+12 gearbox used in the Lamborghini. The H-6170 had 27+9 gears.

Both models had a lifting capacity of 7000 kg and a hydraulic output of 68 l/min. The narrow and low Italian cab looked mismatched next to the massive front end.
