ENGINE DETAIL

The Hurlimann Prince 45 features a compact 1.5L Mitsubishi turbocharged diesel engine, providing a rated power of 41hp (30.6kW) for efficient operation in smaller agricultural tasks. Its indirect fuel injection system enhances fuel efficiency while maintaining emissions compliance to Stage III standards, making it suitable for farms with environmental regulations. The torque output of 73.8 lb-ft at 2100 RPM ensures good low-end power, although operators should consider its limited horsepower for heavier-duty applications, potentially requiring more robust alternatives for larger tasks.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Hurlimann Prince 45 tractor features a 12-speed or optional 16-speed partially synchronized transmission, allowing for smooth gear shifts and versatile speed options beneficial for various farming tasks. The partially synchronized system provides an advantage in maintaining engine power during gear changes, but it may demand more operator skill compared to fully synchronized systems. This setup is particularly effective in scenarios requiring frequent speed adjustments, such as tillage or field operations, maximizing efficiency and productivity.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Hurlimann Prince 45 features a partially synchronized transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, providing flexibility in various operating conditions. The mechanical shuttle enables quick direction changes, enhancing efficiency during field tasks. However, the complexity of the partially synchronized system may pose a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with similar transmissions.

Type partially synchronized
Gears 12 forward and reverse
Description Four synchronized gears in three ranges. Mechanical shuttle.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Hurlimann Prince 45 features a partially synchronized transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, offering improved control in varying terrains. The mechanical shuttle enhances operator efficiency when switching between forward and reverse, making it suitable for tasks like loader work or tight maneuvering. However, the partially synchronized design might present challenges in seamless gear shifting under heavy loads compared to fully synchronized transmissions.

Gears 16 forward and reverse
Description Four synchronized gears in four ranges. Mechanical shuttle.

SPEEDS

Description With 360/70R24 rear tires. Reverse speeds slightly faster than forward./

MECHANICAL

The Hurlimann Prince 45 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD option, enhancing traction in various terrains, ideal for agricultural applications where soil conditions may vary. Its electro-hydraulic rear differential lock increases stability during challenging drives, while the hydrostatic power steering reduces operator fatigue, making it user-friendly. The mechanical wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping performance, but maintenance may be more demanding compared to simpler systems, particularly in muddy or wet environments.

HURLIMANN PRINCE 45 TIRES

The Hurlimann Prince 45 features a rear tire size of 360/70R24, offering enhanced traction and stability on uneven terrain due to its larger footprint. This specification is advantageous for tasks requiring significant pulling power, such as plowing or heavy cultivation. However, operators should be mindful of the potential for increased soil compaction and reduced maneuverability in tight spaces.
