DEUTZ-ALLIS 6240 or Renault 50-12 LB?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 6240 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 50-12 LB has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault 50-12 LB suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 45% (13.0 L/min / 3.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 13% (240 kg / 529 lb) more three-point lift.
- The DEUTZ-ALLIS 6240 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 31% (615 kg / 1,356 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
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.
