International Harvester 884 or Renault 80-32 PX?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the International Harvester 884 is ahead on hydraulic flow and drive; the Renault 80-32 PX is ahead on three-point lift and top speed.
- The Renault 80-32 PX suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The International Harvester 884 has 40% more hydraulic flow (12.7 L/min / 3.4 gpm) than the Renault 80-32 PX (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 80-32 PX has 61% more lift (1,449 kg / 3,194 lb) than the International Harvester 884 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 80-32 PX is 23% heavier (595 kg / 1,312 lb) than the International Harvester 884 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 80-32 PX has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the International Harvester 884 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 884 is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 80-32 PX is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Renault 80-32 PX 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 forward gears (both forward gears, 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
