The Araus 530 Gigante/2 comes from the 500 series of the Argentine combine maker Araus; it was developed from that basis and built in Córdoba, Argentina. The company had earlier shown that national industry could supply modern harvesting technology.
Two engine makers are named: Perkins with the V8-540 and Deutz with the BF6L 913. Power figures are 180 PS and 190 PS, the fuel is diesel, and the clutch is a dry clutch. The displacement field in the database gives two values, 2500 and 2800.
According to the company history, about 130 units of the Gigante were built. The database therefore lists two possible drives, a Perkins V8 and a Deutz engine. Anyone identifying a 530 Gigante/2 has to check which of the two engines is fitted; the output of 180 PS or 190 PS depends on it.
Araus – other models: the collective page of Argentine combine harvesters outside the named ranges, from the 280 and 300 through the 505 DT to the 610 Jumbo and La Joya, 30 to 130 kW, Deutz and Perkins engines
This page gathers the Araus combine harvesters the register could not assign to a named range – from the smaller 280 through the 505 size class to the 610 Jumbo and the special model La Joya. Araus is an Argentine combine-harvester maker whose model names such as Gigante (giant) and Jumbo refer to the respective size class; the DT suffix on the 505 DT stands for doble tracción, four-wheel drive. The engines come mainly from Deutz and Perkins, alongside Hanomag and IKA Continental – Continental engines built under licence by Industrias Kaiser Argentina.

The register lists here 8 versions with 30 to 130 kW (40 to 180 hp); every recorded model runs on diesel.
Araus is one of Argentina's traditional combine-harvester makers, serving above all the domestic grain and soybean harvest with rugged machines tailored to local conditions, while international brands such as Case IH and John Deere hold the larger market shares. Domestic makers such as Araus hold their ground in this competition through lower prices, simpler construction and service that stays close to small and mid-sized farms.
Used, on these combines the condition of the threshing drum and straw walkers, wear on the sieves and chopper, the engine and injection pump, the header-height hydraulics and corrosion on the bodywork and grain tank count; parts supply for Araus runs mainly through Argentine farm-machinery dealers.

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.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
