MECHANICAL

The Renault 461S features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering reduced traction in slippery conditions compared to 4WD alternatives but benefiting from lower operational costs and improved maneuverability on hard surfaces. Its power steering enhances handling, while the dry disc brake system ensures reliable stopping performance under load; however, it requires regular maintenance to prevent wear. The optional ROPS cab provides operator safety but may limit visibility in tight spaces; consider the environment in which the tractor will be primarily used.

RENAULT 461S TIRES

The Renault 461S tractor features a versatile tire configuration with a 6.50-16 front tire and multiple options for rear tires (14.9-28, 12.4-32, 9.5-36, 11.2-36, 12.4-36), enhancing adaptability to various agricultural conditions. The choice of rear tire sizes allows for tailored traction and flotation depending on the terrain and load requirements, optimizing performance in both fieldwork and transport scenarios. A potential challenge may arise in balancing tire size with engine power to prevent excessive slippage, especially in wet or uneven ground conditions.
