Renault 351 M or SAME Delfino 32 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Renault 351 M: hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on forward gears. On features, the SAME Delfino 32 (DT) is ahead on drive.
- The Renault 351 M suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 120% (13.4 L/min / 3.5 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 351 M has 120% more hydraulic flow (13.4 L/min / 3.5 gpm) than the SAME Delfino 32 (DT) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 351 M is 66% heavier (780 kg / 1,720 lb) than the SAME Delfino 32 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 351 M has 67% more forward gears (4 gears) than the SAME Delfino 32 (DT) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).

- The Renault 351 M is newer: production began 7 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.
