Renault 781 a good tractor l still have mine got it new in 1980
Those MWM engines were astonishing wern't they? Apparently when they changed to John Deere engines they were not as good as before (? ). I used to pull a Kverneland 6.3 m spring tine with ours ( 63 tines) up hill and down dale without a murmur.

My uncle had one when i was a kid i think it was 95ish hp. It was an e reg. Pulled a 4f rev with it and a home made 4m combi :eek:. What model would that have been? I can remember it seeming like a monster when i was little.

We had a 851 Renault witch was a 781 with a turbo and we traded it in for a jcb fastrac 1135 , what a bad mistake there was always something wrong with it . A good puller when it was going kept it 6 years then got rid ,cost a lot in repairs . Dose any one know the whereabouts of j c b fastrac 1135 regs number N532 GNW . Or may of been exported.

Well almost, They had the same engine and as you said the 851 had the turbo but The 781 had slightly higher gear ratios. I did hear on The grapevine though that the 851 was a damn good tractor. The 781s we bought to replace a 78 hp IH 674 which like your JCB was always being repaired. As for pulling the Renault made the IH look like a dinky toy.
