The engine is an air-cooled two-cylinder diesel of 1,004 cm³ displacement, producing 15 hp at 2,300 rpm. The tractor is 3,000 mm long, 1,545 mm wide and 1,440 mm high, with a wheelbase of 1,683 mm, a weight of 1,035 kg and a top speed of 20 km/h.
A small, air-cooled two-cylinder of 15 hp is typical of the farm tractors that let smaller and medium-sized farms switch from the horse team to the engine in the 1950s and 1960s; air cooling made such tractors lower-maintenance, since no cooling water was needed. PTO work with simple implements such as mower bars or trailers was among the most common uses of such tractors. At 20 km/h the tractor falls within the L driving-licence category.
On a tractor of this age, what matters is the condition of the air-cooled engine and its cooling fan, rust on sheet-metal and frame parts, and the condition of the brakes and tyres. The PTO shaft and its guard, as well as the condition of the electrics, also deserve a close look. Since Bautz no longer exists as a brand, spare parts are only available through specialist dealers and collector circles for historic farm tractors.

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.
