Adaptability is key in agriculture, and the Renault 651 delivers with its transmission options. Featuring 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, you'll find the perfect ratio for any situation, from delicate fieldwork to heavy hauling. Complementing this is the flexible Rear PTO Type, offering both 540 and 750 RPM options, ensuring compatibility with a broad spectrum of implements and maximizing your tractor's utility.

The hydraulic system of the Renault 651 is designed for efficiency, with a total flow rate of 6.9 gpm (26.1 lpm) and an additional 8.5 gpm (32.2 lpm) available, providing ample power for your implements. When it's time to lift, the rear hitch boasts an impressive capacity of 4,410 lbs (2000 kg), allowing you to effortlessly handle plows, cultivators, and other heavy attachments.

Comfort and Control: A Operator's Haven

Designed with the operator in mind, the Renault 651 comes standard with a comfortable cab, shielding you from the elements during long working days. Maneuvering is a breeze thanks to the hydrostatic power steering, reducing fatigue and enhancing precision. Safety and reliable stopping power are ensured by the efficient dry disc brakes, giving you confidence in every operation.

Built to Last: Dimensions and Durability

The Renault 651 strikes a balance between robust construction and practical dimensions. With a wheelbase of 87.8 inches (223 cm) and a total length of 150.0 inches (381 cm), it offers stability without compromising maneuverability. Available in both two- and four-wheel drive configurations, its weight ranges from 6053 lbs (2745 kg) for the 2WD version to 7299 lbs (3310 kg) for the 4WD model, providing the traction and stability needed for diverse terrains.
