Ford 9500 or Renault 951?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 9500 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 951 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault 951 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 44% (10.1 L/min / 2.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Renault 951 suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (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 “similar machines”. 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 Renault 951 has 44% more hydraulic flow (10.1 L/min / 2.7 gpm) than the Ford 9500 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 951 is 12% heavier (440 kg / 970 lb) than the Ford 9500 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 951 has 71% more forward gears (5 gears) than the Ford 9500 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 951 has 25% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Ford 9500 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 951 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Ford 9500 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Renault 951 is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 9500 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 951 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 9500: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Ford 9500”); the 951: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Renault 951 R7641”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- 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 independence.
