Renault 80-12 SP or Renault 95-14 TX?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the Renault 95-14 TX is ahead on hydraulic flow and drive; the Renault 80-12 SP is ahead on three-point lift.
- The Renault 95-14 TX suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 61% (1,745 kg / 3,847 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 95-14 TX has 34% more hydraulic flow (10.7 L/min / 2.8 gpm) than the Renault 80-12 SP (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 80-12 SP has 11% more lift (470 kg / 1,036 lb) than the Renault 95-14 TX (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 95-14 TX is 61% heavier (1,745 kg / 3,847 lb) than the Renault 80-12 SP (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 95-14 TX is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 80-12 SP is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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.
- 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.
