Renault 461 S or Renault 80?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Renault 461 S: three-point lift. It is also ahead on top speed.
- The Renault 461 S suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 35% (650 kg / 1,433 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Renault 461 S 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 461 S has 35% more lift (650 kg / 1,433 lb) than the Renault 80 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 461 S is 24% heavier (389 kg / 858 lb) than the Renault 80 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 461 S has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Renault 80 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 461 S is newer: production began 12 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.
- Even on hydraulic flow (both pump flow, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- 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.
