Renault 361 or Steyr 190?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 361 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 190 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault 361 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 36% (540 kg / 1,190 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Steyr 190 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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 361 has 36% more lift (540 kg / 1,190 lb) than the Steyr 190 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 361 is 29% heavier (495 kg / 1,091 lb) than the Steyr 190 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 190 has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Renault 361 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 361 is newer: production began 8 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 361 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 190 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, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
