Renault 96 or VALMET 802/802-4?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 96 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 802/802-4 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The VALMET 802/802-4 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 37% (11.7 L/min / 3.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 16% (400 kg / 882 lb) more three-point lift.
- The VALMET 802/802-4 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
- The VALMET 802/802-4 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.
