Renault 58 or WARCHALOWSKI-MC CORMICK WT-45 A?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 58 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the WT-45 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault 58 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 11% (200 kg / 441 lb) more three-point lift.
- The WARCHALOWSKI-MC CORMICK WT-45 A suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
- The WARCHALOWSKI-MC CORMICK WT-45 A 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.

- The WARCHALOWSKI-MC CORMICK WT-45 A has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Renault 58 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The WARCHALOWSKI-MC CORMICK WT-45 A is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 58 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, 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 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.
- 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 58 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the WT-45 A 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 and a creeper range.
