Renault 551 vs Renault 551S

Verdict: Renault 551 vs Renault 551S

The Renault 551 and the Renault 551S are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Renault 551S leads on rated power with 55 hp against 54 hp. Renault 551S is the lighter machine (4,586 kg vs 5,799 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Renault 551S is the newer design (1980 vs 1972). In short: choose the Renault 551S for outright pulling power, or the Renault 551 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
