Renault 651S vs Renault 70-12 LB

Verdict: Renault 651S vs Renault 70-12 LB

The Renault 651S and the Renault 70-12 LB are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Renault 70-12 LB leads on rated power with 66 hp against 65 hp. Renault 70-12 LB is the lighter machine (2,300 kg vs 5,203 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Renault 651S holds more fuel (65.1 L vs 62.1 L) for longer stints between fills. Renault 70-12 LB is the newer design (1987 vs 1980). In short: choose the Renault 70-12 LB for outright pulling power, or the Renault 651S if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more. Compare the full spec tables below before booking a demo.
