Fendt Farmer 203 V/VA-II or Renault 80 S-Vigneron?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Farmer 203 V/VA-II has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 80 S-Vigneron has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Farmer 203 V/VA-II suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
- The Fendt Farmer 203 V/VA-II suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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 Fendt Farmer 203 V/VA-II has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Renault 80 S-Vigneron (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 203 V/VA-II offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Renault 80 S-Vigneron does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Fendt Farmer 203 V/VA-II is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 80 S-Vigneron is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Fendt Farmer 203 V/VA-II is newer: production began 8 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on hydraulic flow (both pump flow, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Farmer 203 V/VA-II has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 80 S-Vigneron 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, forward gears and a creeper range.
