Fendt Favorit 3s or Renault 651-4 (S)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level. On features, the Fendt Favorit 3s is ahead on forward gears, top speed and PTO speeds.
- The Fendt Favorit 3s suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Fendt Favorit 3s 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 Favorit 3s has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Renault 651-4 (S) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 3s has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Renault 651-4 (S) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 3s offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Renault 651-4 (S) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Renault 651-4 (S) is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on a creeper range: every machine offers one.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and PTO independence.
