G. Lauxmann 22 PS: water-cooled two-cylinder diesel tractor with rear-wheel drive, 2,360 cc and 16.2 kW, of which only 4 examples were built, 1950
G. Lauxmann was one of many small agricultural-machinery workshops that, in the immediate post-war years in Germany, built their own tractors in very small numbers to meet farming's demand for motorised drawbar power while the larger manufacturers had not yet fully rebuilt their capacity. The 22 PS is an example of this small-batch production.

The 22 PS is powered by a water-cooled two-cylinder diesel engine of 2,360 cc, producing 22 hp, or 16.2 kW, driving the rear wheels through a gearbox with four forward gears and one reverse. At a weight of 1,230 kg, it is a light to medium tractor for smaller farms; according to the register, only 4 examples of this machine were built.
A two-cylinder diesel engine with rear-wheel drive only and a simple four-speed gearbox matched the technical standard of smaller tractors in the early 1950s, built for tillage with light implements, running a power take-off at standard speed, and hauling small trailer loads on the owner's own yard and neighbouring fields.
When buying such a rare tractor, the first question is whether a surviving example can be found at all and whether its history can be traced. Technically, worth checking are the condition of the diesel engine's injection pump and injectors, wear in the clutch and gearbox, and the frame and rear axle for rust and cracks; spare parts for such a small maker are practically unavailable on the open market and would have to be made individually.

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.
