Massey Ferguson MF 142 (A) or Renault 460 S-Vigneron?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the MF 142 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 460 S-Vigneron has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault 460 S-Vigneron suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 125% (1,370 kg / 3,020 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Renault 460 S-Vigneron suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (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 460 S-Vigneron has 125% more lift (1,370 kg / 3,020 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 142 (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 460 S-Vigneron is 17% heavier (270 kg / 595 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 142 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 460 S-Vigneron has 25% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Massey Ferguson 142 (A) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson 142 (A) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Renault 460 S-Vigneron does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Renault 460 S-Vigneron is newer: production began 6 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the MF 142 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 460 S-Vigneron 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, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
