Renault 651 (S) or ZETOR 6911/6945?

Which should you choose?

The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 651 (S) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6911/6945 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.

  • The ZETOR 6911/6945 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 57% (1,270 kg / 2,800 lb) more three-point lift.
  • The ZETOR 6911/6945 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 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.

What does this mean in plain words?

  • The ZETOR 6911/6945 has 57% more lift (1,270 kg / 2,800 lb) than the Renault 651 (S) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
