Lindner LW20N: air-cooled mountain tractor from Kundl in Tyrol, two-cylinder diesel of 1,145 cm³ producing 20 hp at 2,800 rpm, gross weight 1,030 kg
Lindner, based in Kundl in Tyrol, built the LW20N as a small, air-cooled mountain tractor for holdings that had to manage without large workshops and without costly water cooling. It belongs to the early post-war generation of simple, air-cooled small tractors for mountain holdings that had to manage without extensive workshop infrastructure.

The two-cylinder diesel engine of 1,145 cm³ displacement is air-cooled and produces 20 hp at 2,800 rpm. Gross weight is 1,030 kg and top speed is 28 km/h, giving a power-to-weight figure of roughly 51.5 kg per hp. At 2,590 mm long, 1,735 mm wide, 1,430 mm high and with a wheelbase of 1,745 mm, the machine has a compact build and, for a two-cylinder unit, a comparatively high-revving character.
At 28 km/h the LW20N falls into licence class L. Air cooling needs no cooling water and does not freeze during alpine winter work, a practical advantage at altitude where frost is a risk, though it depends on a working fan and unobstructed cooling fins, since without a water buffer overheating sets in faster.
When buying a used air-cooled small tractor of this type, it is worth checking the cooling fan and the cylinder cooling fins for dirt and damage, since disrupted air cooling quickly leads to overheating. The gearbox, clutch, brakes, front-axle bearings and the general rust condition of the thin sheet-metal parts also belong on the checklist.

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.
