Renault 70-14 SP or Renault 90 S?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 70-14 SP has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 90 S has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault 70-14 SP suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 18% (4.9 L/min / 1.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 24% (555 kg / 1,224 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Renault 70-14 SP suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 70% (1,260 kg / 2,778 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The Renault 70-14 SP 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.
