Renault 681S vs Renault Pales 230

Verdict: Renault 681S vs Renault Pales 230

The Renault 681S and the Renault Pales 230 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Renault 681S leads on rated power with 68 hp against 67 hp. Renault Pales 230 is the lighter machine (5,501 kg vs 5,765 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Renault 681S holds more fuel (82.1 L vs 62.1 L) for longer stints between fills. Renault Pales 230 is the newer design (1998 vs 1980). In short: choose the Renault 681S for outright pulling power, or the Renault Pales 230 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
