Dexheimer 240 – the vineyard tractor from Dexheim: ALLRAD and HINTERRAD 240, two-cylinder diesel with 26 kW/35 hp, only 930 mm wide for row-crop vineyard work
Dexheimer, from the Rheinhessen wine village of Dexheim, built the narrow 240 as a specialist tractor for steep slopes and vine-row work. This page covers the three versions ALLRAD 240, ALLRAD 240 SK and HINTERRAD 240, which differ mainly in drive layout: the two four-wheel-drive variants for extra traction on slopes, and the rear-wheel-drive version as a simpler, lighter option.

The register lists 3 versions here with a uniform 26 kW (35 hp) from a two-cylinder diesel engine of 1,885 cc displacement at 2,500 rpm. Kerb weight ranges from 1,280 to 1,420 kg, length from 2,360 to 2,500 mm, width stays a constant 930 mm across all models, and height ranges from 1,930 to 1,950 mm.
The narrow width of under a metre makes the Dexheimer 240 range typical of the narrow-track vineyard tractors that have to manoeuvre between closely spaced vine rows without damaging vines or wire trellises. Specialist tractors like this competed in viticulture with similarly narrow models from other makers and were mostly sold regionally within the wine-growing areas.
When buying a used Dexheimer 240, check the condition of the steering knuckles and steering after hard use on slopes, wear on the clutch and brakes, the tightness of the hydraulics for mounted implements, and corrosion on the frame and bodywork from contact with plant-protection products. Spare parts for such a small, regionally sold maker are generally only available through specialist vineyard-tractor mechanics and collector circles.

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.
