HURLIMANN H-478 PRESTIGE POWER

Engine 80hp / 59.7kW

ENGINE DETAIL

The Hurlimann H-478 Prestige tractor features a SAME diesel 4-cylinder engine with a robust displacement of 4.0L, delivering 80hp at 2500 RPM and achieving peak torque of 210.2 lb-ft at a low 1350 RPM. This low-end torque is advantageous for applications requiring high pulling power, particularly in plowing or heavy tillage scenarios. However, potential challenges may include maintaining fuel efficiency at higher RPMs and ensuring adequate cooling to prevent overheating during prolonged heavy-duty use.

TRANSMISSION

The Hurlimann H-478 Prestige features a 20-speed transmission, providing operators with extensive gear options for various field conditions and load requirements, enhancing versatility and efficiency. This setup allows for precise speed adjustments, crucial for tasks like plowing and sowing, although managing such a range may require more operator skill to avoid stalling or overshooting desired speeds. Overall, the varied gear ratio can significantly improve productivity in diverse agricultural applications.

Gears 20 forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Hurlimann H-478 Prestige features a 4x2 2WD and an optional 4x4 MFWD configuration, allowing for versatile traction in varying field conditions, but may face limitations in extreme off-road scenarios without the 4WD. Its hydrostatic power steering provides excellent maneuverability and ease of handling, making it suitable for precision tasks. The 20-speed transmission enhances operational efficiency across different speeds, although it may require familiarity for optimal gear selection in demanding tasks.
