The M4072 is powered by a water-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine of 3,331 cm³ displacement, delivering 55 kW, or 74 hp, at 2,400 rpm. At a kerb weight of 3,040 kg and a permissible gross weight of 5,500 kg, the tractor is 3,700 mm long, 1,950 mm wide and 2,580 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,135 mm. Its design top speed is 40 km/h.
At 40 km/h, the M4072 reaches the upper limit of driving licence category L. The roughly 2.5-tonne difference between kerb weight and permissible gross weight shows how much additional load — through a front loader, mounted implements and ballast — is permitted, an important figure for work with heavy front loaders or loaded implements. The 55 kW output is enough for most tillage and loader tasks within this weight range.
When buying a tractor frequently operated with a front loader, checking the loader subframe's attachment points on the chassis for cracking and play is one of the most important steps. Equally important are the hydraulic pump's delivery, the condition of the clutch under frequent load changes, and rust at the loader frame's mounting points. The front axle bearings should also be checked for play, since loader work stresses them more heavily than pulling implements alone.

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.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
