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.
