Renault 53 or WHITE 2-30?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 53 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2-30 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The WHITE 2-30 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 53 is 34% heavier (410 kg / 904 lb) than the WHITE 2-30 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-30 has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Renault 53 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-30 is newer: production began 12 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 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: all two-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 53 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2-30 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 53: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Renault 53 R7211”); the 2-30: lift 610 mm behind the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “White 2-30”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
