AGCO-ALLIS 8630 or Renault Ares 636 RZ?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 8630 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Ares 636 RZ has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault Ares 636 RZ suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 74% (3,678 kg / 8,109 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Renault Ares 636 RZ suits road haulage better on this data: 14% (1,150 kg / 2,535 lb) more maximum permissible mass and 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) more top speed.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Renault Ares 636 RZ has 74% more lift (3,678 kg / 8,109 lb) than the AGCO-ALLIS 8630 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 8630 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Ares 636 RZ has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow and a creeper range.
