John Deere 8320 T or Renault Altes 936 RZ?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 8320 T has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Altes 936 RZ has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
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 8320T is 25% heavier (2,407 kg / 5,307 lb) than the Renault Altes 936 RZ (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 8320T has 16% higher maximum permissible mass (1,938 kg / 4,273 lb) than the Renault Altes 936 RZ (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Renault Altes 936 RZ has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the John Deere 8320T (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Drive differs: the John Deere 8320T Tracks and the Renault Altes 936 RZ 4WD — tracks and wheels are different kinds of running gear, not called.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 8320 T has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Altes 936 RZ has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 8320 T: lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “John Deere 8320T”); the Altes 936 RZ: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Renault Atles 936 RZ”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No call on forward gears: sources disagree on the figure for the 8320 T.
- No call on PTO speeds: sources disagree on the PTO speeds of the 8320 T.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow and a creeper range.
