International Harvester 3088 or Renault 106-14 SP?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the International Harvester 3088 is ahead on hydraulic flow and forward gears; the Renault 106-14 SP is ahead on three-point lift.
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 International Harvester 3088 has 41% more hydraulic flow (16.5 L/min / 4.4 gpm) than the Renault 106-14 SP (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 106-14 SP has 48% more lift (1,459 kg / 3,217 lb) than the International Harvester 3088 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 3088 is 15% heavier (701 kg / 1,545 lb) than the Renault 106-14 SP (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 3088 has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Renault 106-14 SP (both forward gears, 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 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
