Fendt Fix 2 D or Renault N 73?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Fix 2 D has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the N 73 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Fix 2 D suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 83% (5.0 L/min / 1.3 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 Fendt Fix 2 D has 83% more hydraulic flow (5.0 L/min / 1.3 gpm) than the Renault N 73 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Fix 2 D is 21% heavier (220 kg / 485 lb) than the Renault N 73 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- Even on three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, 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 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.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is dependent.
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- 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 Fix 2 D has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the N 73 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO speeds.
