Fiat 1300 Super (DT) (Fiat) or Renault 160-94 TZ/TX?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 1300 Super (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 160-94 TZ/TX has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault 160-94 TZ/TX suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 29% (13.2 L/min / 3.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 147% (6,551 kg / 14,442 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Renault 160-94 TZ/TX suits road haulage better on this data: 60% (15.0 km/h / 9.3 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.
