Massey Ferguson MF 1014 (A) or Renault 921?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the MF 1014 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 921 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 1014 (A) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 18% (675 kg / 1,488 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 1014 (A) 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 Massey Ferguson MF 1014 (A) is 18% heavier (675 kg / 1,488 lb) than the Renault 921 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 1014 (A) has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Renault 921 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 1014 (A) is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 921 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the MF 1014 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 921 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
