Huerlimann D 115 my grandfather had one

earlier version of the D 115

Lifts 9 feet in 15 seconds.  That might have been fast in 1947 but it sounds a bit slow by today's standards.

I see we just hit the 8 year mark on this thread on the 18th of January. Time sure has flown by and I can't believe the vintage ads keep turning up. Although some might be a repeat like this one of my favourite IH pickup ads from 1973.

That was slow back then.  I know our Farmhand on our M would lift faster.  That was 1950.

I thought this vintage brochure fits this time of the year when Farmers did barn threshing in years gone by

old Swiss almanac pic from about 1600's showing the winter month (November) but threshing might of taken even into January and maybe later

 

Translation: 11 Wintermonth: The busy farmer now threshes till he sweats and the farmers wife in this time mostly sitting and Heckling flax

In 1971 the Bührer tractor company in Switzerland made there 20 000 tractor! For a Swiss tractor maker that started out around 1928 that was a large number.

Them Huerlimann Tractors where still assembled in 1980 in Wil Switzerland and all Water cooled Diesel engines SAME and Lamborgini tractors had where at this time still Swiss made, that was one of the main reasons why Huerlimann got bought by Same.  The John Deere with the mechanical front wheel drive assist those axles where made by Schindler Wagon AG in Switzerland.

I know that but some of the largest models of the Lamborghini's where not air cooled but had Huerlimann water cooled diesels. As I said before SAME bought out Huerlimann because they needed a design of a watercooled diesel engine.

On the 1979 video, you can clearly see the American IH tractors.
