Ford NAA or Renault D 30?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the NAA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the D 30 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault D 30 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 73% (550 kg / 1,213 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Renault D 30 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 “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.

- The Renault D 30 has 50% more forward gears (2 gears) than the Ford NAA (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Renault D 30 has 25% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Ford NAA (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- Even on hydraulic flow (both pump flow, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- 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 NAA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the D 30 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 independence.
