Detank – other models: the collective page of harvesters 8000A, 8000B, PL40, TA40 and TB60, 82 to 147 kW, with Yuchai/Luochai engines
This page gathers the harvesters of the Detank brand that the register could not assign to a named range: the 8000A, 8000B, PL40, TA40 and TB60. The type designations follow two different patterns, a four-digit number with a letter suffix for the 8000-series types and a two- or three-letter code with a number for the PL40, TA40 and TB60.

The register lists 5 versions here with 82 to 147 kW, or 92 to 197 hp. The engine maker recorded is Yuchai/Luochai; all models run on diesel.
The power span from around 90 to just under 200 hp places the Detank machines in the medium harvester segment; drawing on the Chinese engine maker Yuchai is a common sourcing pattern for harvesting equipment from this manufacturing environment. Harvesters of this power class are mostly used by smaller and medium-sized harvesting contractors and cooperatives that rely on rugged, low-maintenance equipment.
When buying a used Detank, the condition and operating hours of the Yuchai diesel engine, the tightness of the cooling and injection systems, and wear on the threshing and cutting mechanisms all matter most; parts availability is worth clarifying directly with the relevant sales partner before purchase. The condition of the header or cutting mechanism and the tightness of the straw chopper bearings are also part of the check, since these components are subject to particularly high wear during harvesting.
