Iseki TX 1300: water-cooled two-cylinder diesel of 670 cc, 9.5 kW output and 550 kg unladen weight, six-forward/two-reverse gearbox, hydraulic lift up to 500 kg
Iseki, a Japanese manufacturer, has long built small, water-cooled diesel tractors for paddy fields, horticulture and municipal grounds care. The TX line represents this lightweight class. The TX 1300 is powered by a two-cylinder diesel engine of 670 cc, built for work on small plots rather than heavy arable land.

The engine produces 9.5 kW (13 hp) at 2,700 rpm. The gearbox offers six forward and two reverse speeds, with a top speed of 15 km/h. At an unladen weight of 550 kg and a hydraulic lift capacity of 500 kg, the TX 1300 ranks among the very lightest compact tractors of its era.
Such a small, slow, water-cooled twin is built for precision work in confined spaces: horticulture, small orchards, and paddy fields with their soft, wet ground. At only 15 km/h, the TX 1300 sits well within the licence category reserved for slow tractors up to 40 km/h.
When buying a used tractor of this size, the condition of the water cooling system matters most, since radiators and hoses on decades-old machines are often scaled up or brittle. The hydraulic lift seals and the small gearbox's clutch are also worth checking, along with the diesel injection pump, which on such a small single-cylinder engine is rarely rebuilt locally. Parts for this generation of small Japanese tractors are supplied by only a handful of specialist dealers, and delivery times can be long.

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.
