New Holland T 5030 or Renault Ceres 85 (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the New Holland T 5030: hydraulic flow and three-point lift.
- The New Holland T 5030 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 38% (17.2 L/min / 4.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 25% (975 kg / 2,150 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 New Holland T 5030 has 38% more hydraulic flow (17.2 L/min / 4.5 gpm) than the Renault Ceres 85 (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland T 5030 has 25% more lift (975 kg / 2,150 lb) than the Renault Ceres 85 (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland T 5030 is 14% heavier (465 kg / 1,025 lb) than the Renault Ceres 85 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland T 5030 is newer: production began 15 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 maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, 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 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).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power and a creeper range.
