Massey Ferguson MF 1007 (A) or Renault 103-12 RS?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Renault 103-12 RS: three-point lift. On features, the Massey Ferguson MF 1007 (A) is ahead on forward gears and drive.
- The Renault 103-12 RS suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 18% (770 kg / 1,698 lb) more three-point lift.
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 103-12 RS has 18% more lift (770 kg / 1,698 lb) than the Massey Ferguson MF 1007 (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 103-12 RS is 13% heavier (470 kg / 1,036 lb) than the Massey Ferguson MF 1007 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 1007 (A) has 50% more forward gears (8 gears) than the Renault 103-12 RS (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 1007 (A) is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 103-12 RS is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- 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 hydraulic flow (both pump flow, 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).
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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.
