Case-IH MXU 110 or Renault Ares 656 RZ?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Renault Ares 656 RZ: maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on forward gears.
- The Renault Ares 656 RZ suits road haulage better on this data: 23% (1,750 kg / 3,858 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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 656 RZ is 16% heavier (807 kg / 1,779 lb) than the Case-IH MXU 110 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Renault Ares 656 RZ has 23% higher maximum permissible mass (1,750 kg / 3,858 lb) than the Case-IH MXU 110 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Renault Ares 656 RZ has 33% more forward gears (8 gears) than the Case-IH MXU 110 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, three-point lift and a creeper range.
