Fiat 72-94 (DT) or Renault 70-14 LB?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Fiat 72-94 (DT): hydraulic flow and maximum permissible mass.
- The Fiat 72-94 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 20% (7.3 L/min / 1.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Fiat 72-94 (DT) suits road haulage better on this data: 13% (600 kg / 1,323 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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 Fiat 72-94 (DT) has 20% more hydraulic flow (7.3 L/min / 1.9 gpm) than the Renault 70-14 LB (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 72-94 (DT) is 38% heavier (960 kg / 2,116 lb) than the Renault 70-14 LB (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 72-94 (DT) has 13% higher maximum permissible mass (600 kg / 1,323 lb) than the Renault 70-14 LB (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- 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 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.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-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.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, a creeper range and PTO independence.
