Renault 301 or WHITE 2-32?
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 2-32 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: 66% (810 kg / 1,786 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Renault 301 suits road haulage better on this data: 14% (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 Renault 301 has 66% more lift (810 kg / 1,786 lb) than the WHITE 2-32 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 301 is 29% heavier (388 kg / 855 lb) than the WHITE 2-32 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-32 has 80% more forward gears (8 gears) than the Renault 301 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 301 has 14% more top speed (3.0 km/h / 1.9 mph) than the WHITE 2-32 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-32 is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 301 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The WHITE 2-32 is newer: production began 12 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- 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 2-32 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
