Porsche-Diesel Standard Star 219 or Renault Super 4?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Standard Star 219 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Super 4 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Porsche-Diesel Standard Star 219 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 20% (2.8 L/min / 0.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Porsche-Diesel Standard Star 219 suits road haulage better on this data: 12% (3.0 km/h / 1.9 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 Porsche-Diesel Standard Star 219 has 20% more hydraulic flow (2.8 L/min / 0.7 gpm) than the Renault Super 4 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault Super 4 is 17% heavier (260 kg / 573 lb) than the Porsche-Diesel Standard Star 219 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Porsche-Diesel Standard Star 219 has 12% more top speed (3.0 km/h / 1.9 mph) than the Renault Super 4 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- 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 rpm).
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- 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 Standard Star 219 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Super 4 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
