John Deere 7700 (A) or Renault 160-94 TZ/TX?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 7700 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 160-94 TZ/TX has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The John Deere 7700 (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 18% (1,750 kg / 3,858 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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 John Deere 7700 (A) has 66% more hydraulic flow (39.0 L/min / 10.3 gpm) than the Renault 160-94 TZ/TX (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 160-94 TZ/TX has 98% more lift (5,460 kg / 12,037 lb) than the John Deere 7700 (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).

- The Renault 160-94 TZ/TX has 35% more forward gears (7 gears) than the John Deere 7700 (A) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, 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.

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 7700 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 160-94 TZ/TX 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
