Landini 6830 (DT) TL-21 N/L (TL-21 DT/M) or Renault 90 S?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 6830 (DT) TL-21 N/L (TL-21 DT/M) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 90 S has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Landini 6830 (DT) TL-21 N/L (TL-21 DT/M) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 30% (540 kg / 1,190 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The Landini 6830 (DT) TL-21 N/L (TL-21 DT/M) 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.
