Renault 551 vs Renault Master 2

Verdict: Renault 551 vs Renault Master 2

The Renault 551 and the Renault Master 2 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Renault Master 2 leads on rated power with 55 hp against 54 hp. Renault Master 2 is the lighter machine (2,670 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 Master 2 holds more fuel (79.9 L vs 65.1 L) for longer stints between fills. Renault 551 is the newer design (1972 vs 1964).
