Fendt Farmer 304 LSA or Renault 80-32 PX?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Farmer 304 LSA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 80-32 PX has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Farmer 304 LSA suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Fendt Farmer 304 LSA offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the Renault 80-32 PX does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Fendt Farmer 304 LSA is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 80-32 PX is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Farmer 304 LSA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 80-32 PX has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the Farmer 304 LSA: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt Farmer 304 LSA/Turbo”); the 80-32 PX: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Renault 80-32 PE/PA/PS/PX R3152”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
