Renault 460 S-Vigneron or SOMECA 474 DT/V?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 460 S-Vigneron has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 474 DT/V has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The SOMECA 474 DT/V suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 37% (9.8 L/min / 2.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Renault 460 S-Vigneron suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (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 SOMECA 474 DT/V has 37% more hydraulic flow (9.8 L/min / 2.6 gpm) than the Renault 460 S-Vigneron (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 460 S-Vigneron is 11% heavier (190 kg / 419 lb) than the SOMECA 474 DT/V (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 460 S-Vigneron has 25% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the SOMECA 474 DT/V (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- 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 460 S-Vigneron has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 474 DT/V 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
