Renault 301 or SAME Sirenetta (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 301 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Sirenetta (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault 301 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 141% (12.7 L/min / 3.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 301 has 141% more hydraulic flow (12.7 L/min / 3.4 gpm) than the SAME Sirenetta (DT) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 301 is 24% heavier (330 kg / 728 lb) than the SAME Sirenetta (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Sirenetta (DT) is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 301 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 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 301 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Sirenetta (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 301: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Renault 301 / R 7411”); the Sirenetta (DT): lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “SAME Sirenetta”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
