The Export-Reihe series from Kramer includes the 450 Export. Production: 2/1964–11/1967. The engine delivers 42.5 hp (30.7 kW), has 4 cylinders, with a displacement of 2,260 cm³. Torque is 137 Nm. Rated speed is 2,300 rpm. The machine is 3,320 mm long, 1,550 mm wide and 1,630 mm high. The unladen weight is 1,980 kg. The wheelbase measures 2,050 mm. Ground clearance is 400 mm. Top speed is 20 km/h. The tank holds 43 litres. The engine is water-cooled. Tyres: front 6.00-16 ASF, rear 11-28 AS. The fuel is diesel. Construction: frameless unit construction. The gearbox offers 10 forward gears. There are also 2 reverse gears. The linkage is category I. The PTO runs at 585/1090 rpm. Around 2042 units were built. The Export-Reihe series covers 5 models. Rated output within it ranges from 32.5 to 45 hp; the 450 Export sits in the upper part of that range with 42.5 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the 350 Export O below it with 32.5 hp and the 600 Export above it with 45 hp. Unladen weight within it ranges from 1,600 to 2,450 kg; here the 450 Export sits in the middle of that range with 1,980 kg. 137 Kramer models across 20 series are on record.

Kramer Export 350 to 600 – the narrow-track tractors from Überlingen for special crops: O as the narrow orchard version, the same 2.3-litre four-cylinder across the range, 24 to 33 kW

Kramer-Werke of Überlingen on Lake Constance, in the decades before its present focus on wheel loaders and telehandlers, also built farm tractors, among them the Export range, offered with a single four-cylinder diesel engine across several chassis widths. What stands out is the extreme spread of widths, from 1,000 to 1,750 mm, with an essentially unchanged engine: the narrowest version, the 350 Export O, at around a metre wide, fits between the rows of orchards and vineyards, which the O in the designation denotes, while the wider Export models ran as standard-width farm and field tractors.

The register lists 5 versions with an engine of 2,260 cm³, outputs of 23.7 to 32.9 kW, torque of 137 Nm, operating weights of 1,600 to 2,450 kg and heights of 1,200 to 1,780 mm at 2,300 to 2,500 rpm.

The narrow Export range served the niche of special-crop farms where a standard-width tractor cannot turn between the rows, putting it in competition with the narrow-track tractors of Fendt and Same of the period.

On used narrow versions, the condition of steering knuckles and steering, and generally the condition of clutch and gearbox, rust on wings and bonnet, count, along with parts supply, which at Kramer-Werke today runs mainly through the construction-equipment division rather than the old tractors.

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.
Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
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.
