Renault 651 (S) or Renault 70-14 F?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Renault 70-14 F: hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on top speed and drive.
- The Renault 70-14 F suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 67% (17.3 L/min / 4.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 55% (1,240 kg / 2,734 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Renault 70-14 F 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 70-14 F has 67% more hydraulic flow (17.3 L/min / 4.6 gpm) than the Renault 651 (S) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 70-14 F has 55% more lift (1,240 kg / 2,734 lb) than the Renault 651 (S) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 651 (S) is 24% heavier (510 kg / 1,124 lb) than the Renault 70-14 F (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 70-14 F has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Renault 651 (S) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 70-14 F is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 651 (S) is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Renault 70-14 F is newer: production began 14 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 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).
- 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.
