Renault 50-12 LB or ZETOR 3321/3341 Super?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the ZETOR 3321/3341 Super: three-point lift. It is also ahead on PTO speeds and drive.
- The ZETOR 3321/3341 Super suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The ZETOR 3321/3341 Super suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 41% (868 kg / 1,914 lb) more three-point lift.
- The ZETOR 3321/3341 Super suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 52% (1,040 kg / 2,293 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
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.

- The ZETOR 3321/3341 Super is newer: production began 10 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
