Holder E series – the single-axle tractors from Metzingen: E 3 to E 14, the number as hp class, B, F and D for petrol, bought-in engine and diesel, single-cylinder two-strokes and small diesels of 75 to 600 cm³
Holder of Metzingen at the foot of the Swabian Alb has been at home in crop protection since 1888 and from the 1930s built single-axle tractors for vineyards, vegetable growing and smallholdings – the E series is that programme: E stands for the single-axle tractor (Einachser), the number orders the size by hp class in ascending order, from the E 3 with three hp to the E 14; the letters on the E 8 mark the engine, B for petrol, F for the bought-in engine (Fremdmotor) and D for the diesel, and E9D is the diesel version of the E 9. The engines are single-cylinders: two-stroke petrol engines running on 1:25 mixture in the small types, small diesels in the larger ones, with displacements of 75 to 600 cm³ and rated speeds up to 4,500 rpm – the two-strokes rev high, the diesels run slowly. The single-axle tractor carries a rotary tiller, plough, cutter bar, sprayer or trailer and is guided by handlebars; until the 1960s it was the vintner's and gardener's tractor before the articulated four-wheel tractors of the Holder A series replaced it.

The register lists 9 versions with 1.9 to 9 kW from single-cylinders of 75 to 600 cm³; widths of the small types are 415 mm, heights between 730 and 1,030 mm.
Holder single-axle tractors are collectors' pieces today and in steep-slope viticulture partly still in use because they fit into rows no four-wheel tractor can enter.
On used machines, compression and ignition of the two-strokes, clutch and gearbox, the condition of handlebars and implements and parts supply, which for the engines runs through vintage specialists, are what count.

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.
