Renault TS range – five field tractors of the 1970s from Le Mans, the 75-12 TS to the 110-14 TS, four- and six-cylinder engines of 55.2 to 73.6 kW, 75 to 100 hp
The Renault TS range was a tractor generation of the 1970s, built at Renault's farm-machinery plant in Le Mans; the register lists here the 75-12 TS, 75-14 TS, 85-14 TS A, 97-54 TS and 110-14 TS. The first figure in the type designation names the power class in hp, the second the number of gearbox speeds.

The register lists here five versions with 55.2 to 73.6 kW, or 75 to 100 hp, from four- or six-cylinder engines of 4,156 to 6,234 cm³ displacement, torque from 244 to 374 Nm, unladen weights from 3,348 to 5,200 kg, lengths from 3,934 to 4,603 mm, widths from 1,980 to 2,080 mm and heights from 2,775 to 2,905 mm at a rated speed of 2,350 rpm.
In the 1970s Renault ranked alongside Fiat, Massey Ferguson and Deutz among the major suppliers on the west European tractor market; the TS range, with its power span, covered the segment of medium to larger field tractors for farms with mixed cropping.
When buying used, the condition of the injection pump and cooling system, wear on clutch and gearbox and corrosion on the cab frame and wings matter; spare parts for Renault tractors of this generation are stocked by specialist farm-machinery dealers and parts traders for historic Renault equipment. On mixed farms, the TS range handled both drawbar work and PTO-driven tasks for harvesting and tillage equipment. Cab mounting points and wiring harnesses also merit a close look after decades of field service.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
