The Holder A 60 comes from the manufacturer Gebrüder Holder of Metzingen, known above all for manoeuvrable tractors in fruit, wine and vegetable growing. The vehicle is driven by a water-cooled four-stroke diesel with three cylinders and 2356 cm³ displacement, delivering 50 PS. Top speed is 25 km/h.
At 3,456 mm long, 1,542 mm wide and 2,115 mm high the A 60 is compact enough for row crops. The wheelbase of 1,600 mm gives a good turning circle. The unladen weight is given in the register as a range of 1770–1850, arising from equipment and tyres.
Holder tractors are traditionally distinguished by their handy build: they were intended for farms where large farm tractors had no room. The A 60 thus belongs to the line of specialist tractors that score less on power than on adaptation to narrow plantations.

This register page groups Holder models that fall outside the manufacturer's named series. The A 60 belongs to the category of larger field tractors that Holder also offered alongside its better-known light single-axle and compact tractors.

The A 60 is powered by a water-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine of 2,356 cc, producing 50 hp. At a height of 2,115 mm, a length of 3,456 mm, a width of 1,542 mm and a wheelbase of 1,600 mm, the machine weighs between 1,770 and 1,850 kg depending on version; top speed is 25 km/h.
A three-cylinder diesel engine of 50 hp belonged to the upper mid-range of field tractors of its time, built for tillage with larger implements, running a power take-off at standard speed, and trailer work on both made and unmade roads. This sets the A 60 clearly apart from the small, light single-axle tractors for which Holder was otherwise better known.
When buying a Holder A 60 secondhand, the condition of the radiator and water pump of the water-cooled engine, the diesel engine's injection pump, and the clutch and gearbox for wear matter most. Also worth checking are the frame and axles for rust given a weight of over 1.7 tonnes, and the brakes; spare parts for this larger Holder series are scarcer than for the brand's small single-axle tractors, since collector interest and parts trade for Holder concentrate mostly on the light models.
