MB trac 900 (440.164 range, 1981–1982): four-cylinder diesel with 3,784 cm³, 63 kW, a weight of 4,000 kg and mounting points front and rear
The MB trac 900 from the 440.164 range was also built at the Gaggenau plant, from 1981 to 1982, as one of the last versions of the first MB-trac generation, before Daimler-Benz thoroughly reworked the range.

The MB trac 900 carries a water-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine with 3,784 cm³ of displacement, producing 85 hp, or 63 kW, at 2,400 rpm. At 4,000 kg, 4,170 mm long, 2,700 mm high, 2,040 mm wide and with a 2,430 mm wheelbase, the machine reaches a top speed of 30 km/h.
At 63 kW from 3,784 cm³ of displacement, the 900 was among the more powerful versions of the first MB-trac generation and was built for draft work with larger implements and haulage tasks on bigger farms. As with all MB-trac models, the design with mounting points front and rear allowed flexible use of a wide range of implements, from plough to mower to forage wagon, without having to refit the vehicle between tasks.
When buying an MB trac 900 used, the condition of the frame and the front and rear mounting points matters, as these see heavier use from changing implement work. Also worth checking are the tightness of the cooling system, the condition of the clutch, and corrosion damage to the cab and mudguards, common on machines of this age and showing up first where sheet metal meets sealing around windows and steps.

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.
- 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.
