Ford 6610 (A) or Renault 96?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 6610 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 96 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Ford 6610 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 70% (1,755 kg / 3,869 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Ford 6610 (A) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
- The Ford 6610 (A) 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 Ford 6610 (A) has 70% more lift (1,755 kg / 3,869 lb) than the Renault 96 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 6610 (A) has 100% more forward gears (8 gears) than the Renault 96 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 6610 (A) has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Renault 96 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 6610 (A) is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 96 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Ford 6610 (A) is newer: production began 12 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 6610 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 96 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
