International Harvester Hydro 186 or Renault 133-14 TX?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Renault 133-14 TX: three-point lift. It is also ahead on drive.
- The Renault 133-14 TX suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 65% (1,725 kg / 3,803 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Renault 133-14 TX suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
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 Renault 133-14 TX has 65% more lift (1,725 kg / 3,803 lb) than the International Harvester Hydro 186 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 133-14 TX is available with four-wheel drive; the International Harvester Hydro 186 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Renault 133-14 TX is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the International Harvester Hydro 186 is stepless (CVT) and the Renault 133-14 TX has 12 forward gears — not called.
- 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).
- 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.
