Renault 74-14 RS or Renault 80-12 SP?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 74-14 RS has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 80-12 SP has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault 74-14 RS suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 21% (610 kg / 1,345 lb) heavier and 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 Renault 74-14 RS has 25% more hydraulic flow (8.0 L/min / 2.1 gpm) than the Renault 80-12 SP (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 80-12 SP has 172% more lift (2,890 kg / 6,371 lb) than the Renault 74-14 RS (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 74-14 RS is 21% heavier (610 kg / 1,345 lb) than the Renault 80-12 SP (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 74-14 RS is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 80-12 SP is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- 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).
- 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 74-14 RS has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 80-12 SP 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
