Hurlimann XT908

[FE35]

Have come across a tidy one of these with a loader. Would be main tractor on 100ac sheep farm so no hard work! Making hay, topping, handling bales type work. It would be 20 yrs newer than current tractor so a bit of a step up. Any opinions or things to look out for? I guess it’s a Same in different colours? Would really like a jxu105 but can’t afford one! Any advice welcomed

@Old Tip rates the brand I know that much

 

[Old Tip]

Definitely, had no problems with the ones I’ve had

Ha! That’s just a mile down the road & what’s made me think about them! His looks smart!

As an aside, I have a JXU 105 and not that impressed with it, so don't feel bad about not getting one!

Yes, very good tractors, very underrated.
Clutch can be heavy if working all day with a loader (non power shuttle) but other than that fairly bulletproof compared to the horror stories you hear about other makes.

It's the same like a Lamborghini Premium 850. We got a few in the area here. They don't seem to die . Even they get some really hard work here in the area. It will be more loyal then a JXU 105 imo.
Like Jontym says, very underrated.

 

[Jontym]

These were ours.

 

[Wim3065]

Beauties! Did you replace both?

 

[Jontym]

Thanks, traded both for this.......

 

[Wim3065]

XM100? Never saw these before in real life. Nice model!

 

[Jontym]

XM-K 110, presumably the K stands for Kompact!

Lovely looking machine.

Would they be a first cousin of Same ?

Would they be a first cousin of Same ?

Or even a brother!

 

[Jontym]

Hurlimann, Lamborghini, Deutz, Same, all used the same sire!!

The new Hurlimman models are very smart how do you rate it @Jontym, ive got an XB 100 at the moment and it’s been a great tractor. Very compact, loads of torque, power shuttle and grips like no other tractor I’ve ever driven

 

[Lazy Eric]

Had one of them on demo years ago.. loved it. Really handy well built tractor if I recall. I think it was when zetor dealers had the franchise? Something to do with Motokov??

 

[Mursal]

Never knew, must have been just an affair with Zetor, maybe a fling?

It’s very nice, cabs much quieter than the old models, with greater head room.
The Deutz engine pulls really well now it’s got a couple of hundred hours on, and the double speed steering is brilliant.
Only annoying thing has been the infuriating alarm going off when the fuel filter sensor picks up the slightest bit of moisture in the fuel, but that will be true of all modern common rail engines I presume!
