Renault 106-14 SP or VALMET 755/755-4?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level. On features, the VALMET 755/755-4 is ahead on forward gears; the Renault 106-14 SP is ahead on PTO speeds.
- The Renault 106-14 SP suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
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 106-14 SP is 25% heavier (955 kg / 2,105 lb) than the VALMET 755/755-4 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The VALMET 755/755-4 has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Renault 106-14 SP (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 106-14 SP offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the VALMET 755/755-4 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The VALMET 755/755-4 is newer: production began 6 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 three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, 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 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
