Renault 90 S or WHITE 2-62?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 90 S has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2-62 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault 90 S suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 37% (623 kg / 1,373 lb) more three-point lift.
- The WHITE 2-62 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 37% (659 kg / 1,453 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The WHITE 2-62 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Renault 90 S has 37% more lift (623 kg / 1,373 lb) than the WHITE 2-62 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-62 is 37% heavier (659 kg / 1,453 lb) than the Renault 90 S (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-62 has 100% more forward gears (10 gears) than the Renault 90 S (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-62 has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Renault 90 S (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-62 is available with four-wheel drive; the Renault 90 S is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 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 90 S has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2-62 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
