Old Hürlimann Tractors: Extraordinary Swiss History on the Road in Willisau

Hürlimann is perhaps the most famous Swiss tractor brand. The long and exraordinary history of the Hürlimann brand centres around the figure of Hans Hürlimann, the son of a farmer who was able to make use of his training as a mechanic/fitter in the mechanical factory of August Hoegger in Wil (Canton of St. Gallen), where he became sales manager in 1926 and later founded a company which would stretch beyond the Swiss borders - thanks to the production of tractors for agriculture, industry and the army. Tractors parading throught the historic town center of Willisau e.g. are: Hürlimann Industrie, Vevey ACMV 651, Hürlimann D 500, Hürlimann D-115, Hürlimann D-200 A Sync., Hürlimann T-9200. #tractor #switzerland #nostalgia
