Holder tractors – other models: collective page of the implement-carrier and articulated-tractor manufacturer from Metzingen and Schwäbisch Gmünd, one- to four-cylinder engines, 9 to 80 kW, 785 to 2,885 kg unladen weight
This page gathers the Holder tractors the register could not assign to a named range. Holder was founded in Metzingen and later moved production to Schwäbisch Gmünd; the company is known above all for implement carriers and articulated tractors used with mounted mowing, sweeping and clearing equipment in municipal grounds maintenance, in vineyards and orchards, and in grassland management. The model range spans from early single-axle and small A-type machines to the larger C series with stronger engines.

The register lists here 90 versions with 9 to 80 kW from one- to four-cylinder engines with 604 to 3,619 cm³ displacement. Unladen weights range from 785 to 2,885 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,250 to 5,500 kg, lengths from 2,440 to 4,235 mm, widths from 1,130 to 1,645 mm and heights from 1,330 to 2,060 mm.
With its implement carriers, Holder occupies a niche between the small tractor and the municipal vehicle, where manoeuvrability from articulated steering and the range of mounted implements matter more than raw pulling power. The machines are found mainly in German-speaking countries and in Europe's wine-growing regions, where slope capability and narrow track widths are in demand.
On used examples, the articulated models call for checking the condition of the articulation joint and the hydraulic connections for mounted implements, while all models need checking of engine, clutch and brakes, and rust on the chassis and mounting plate; the wide range of implements makes compatibility a check point of its own. Spare parts run through Holder distribution and specialist municipal and viticulture equipment dealers.

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.
