Eicher 3708 or Renault Super 4-D?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 3708 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Super 4-D has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault Super 4-D suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 17% (2.6 L/min / 0.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 Super 4-D has 17% more hydraulic flow (2.6 L/min / 0.7 gpm) than the Eicher 3708 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault Super 4-D is 13% heavier (200 kg / 441 lb) than the Eicher 3708 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Eicher 3708 is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault Super 4-D is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Eicher 3708 is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 3708 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Super 4-D 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
