Renault 70-14 LB or Renault 75-12 LS?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the Renault 70-14 LB is ahead on hydraulic flow and drive; the Renault 75-12 LS is ahead on maximum permissible mass.
- The Renault 70-14 LB suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 23% (6.9 L/min / 1.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Renault 75-12 LS suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (950 kg / 2,094 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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 LB has 23% more hydraulic flow (6.9 L/min / 1.8 gpm) than the Renault 75-12 LS (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 75-12 LS is 20% heavier (490 kg / 1,080 lb) than the Renault 70-14 LB (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 75-12 LS has 20% higher maximum permissible mass (950 kg / 2,094 lb) than the Renault 70-14 LB (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 70-14 LB is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 75-12 LS is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Renault 70-14 LB is newer: production began 6 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 three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, a creeper range and PTO independence.
