Renault 85-32 MX or ZETOR 7321/7341 Super?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 85-32 MX has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 7321/7341 Super has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The ZETOR 7321/7341 Super 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 7321/7341 Super has 30% more hydraulic flow (12.4 L/min / 3.3 gpm) than the Renault 85-32 MX (both pump flow, as stated by the source).

- The ZETOR 7321/7341 Super is newer: production began 8 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, 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 figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 85-32 MX has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 7321/7341 Super 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 and a creeper range.
