Case-IH Puma 155 or Renault Ares 715 RZ?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Puma 155 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Ares 715 RZ has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault Ares 715 RZ suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 15% (15.6 L/min / 4.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 40% (3,303 kg / 7,282 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Renault Ares 715 RZ suits road haulage better on this data: 14% (1,500 kg / 3,307 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 715 RZ has 15% more hydraulic flow (15.6 L/min / 4.1 gpm) than the Case-IH Puma 155 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault Ares 715 RZ has 40% more lift (3,303 kg / 7,282 lb) than the Case-IH Puma 155 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Puma 155 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Ares 715 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
