Leyland 282 or Renault 851-4 (S)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Renault 851-4 (S): hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears, PTO speeds and drive. On features, the Leyland 282 is ahead on top speed.
- The Renault 851-4 (S) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Renault 851-4 (S) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 12% (3.5 L/min / 0.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 58% (1,362 kg / 3,003 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Renault 851-4 (S) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 11% (353 kg / 778 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The Leyland 282 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.

- 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.
