International Harvester 584 or Renault 88?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the International Harvester 584: hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on PTO speeds and drive.
- The International Harvester 584 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The International Harvester 584 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 51% (12.5 L/min / 3.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The International Harvester 584 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 11% (230 kg / 507 lb) heavier and 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.

| Which offers more PTO speeds? | 540/1000 rpmTraktorenlexikon, “IHC 584” | 540 rpmTraktorenlexikon, “Renault 88 R7261” | AheadThe International Harvester 584 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Renault 88 does not (as stated by the sources). |
| Which PTO runs independently of the ground drive? | — | independentTraktorenlexikon, “Renault 88 R7261” | No figureNo call on PTO independence: not stated for the 584. |
| Which drives on both axles? | 2WD / 4WDTraktorenlexikon, “IHC 584” | 2WDTraktorenlexikon, “Renault 88 R7261” | AheadThe International Harvester 584 is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 88 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources). |
| Which is newer, and what about parts? | 1977–1981 | 1967–1971 | Ahead (a fact, not an advantage)The International Harvester 584 is newer: production began 10 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts. |
What does this mean in plain words?
- The International Harvester 584 has 51% more hydraulic flow (12.5 L/min / 3.3 gpm) than the Renault 88 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 584 is 11% heavier (230 kg / 507 lb) than the Renault 88 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 584 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Renault 88 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The International Harvester 584 is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 88 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The International Harvester 584 is newer: production began 10 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 three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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.
