Landini R 8000 Super-Special (TL-9 N/B) or Renault 681 (S)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Renault 681 (S): three-point lift. On features, the Landini R 8000 Super-Special (TL-9 N/B) is ahead on top speed.
- The Renault 681 (S) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 66% (960 kg / 2,116 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Landini R 8000 Super-Special (TL-9 N/B) 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 Renault 681 (S) has 66% more lift (960 kg / 2,116 lb) than the Landini R 8000 Super-Special (TL-9 N/B) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Landini R 8000 Super-Special (TL-9 N/B) has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Renault 681 (S) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 681 (S) is newer: production began 12 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 weight (both unladen weight, 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 difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
