MAN R (Nuremberg) – diesel tractors of the four-wheel-drive pioneer before tractor production ended in 1962: 2R1 to 4R3, four-cylinder diesels of 2.6 to 3.9 litres, 40 to 45 hp, 2.35 to 2.64 t
MAN built diesel tractors in Nuremberg from 1921 to 1962 and is counted among the pioneers of four-wheel drive in the tractor business; the R range is among the last series before tractor production ended, when MAN handed the business to Fendt in 1962. The 2R1 to 4R3 models all carry four-cylinder diesel engines, one of which the register lists as a MAN D 0024 M 220; the 1,865 mm width is identical across all six versions, pointing to a shared axle and chassis for the whole range.

The register lists 6 versions with 29.3 to 32.9 kW (40 to 45 hp) from four-cylinder diesels of 2,560 to 3,927 cm³ at 1,800 to 2,200 rpm, unladen weights from 2,350 to 2,640 kg, lengths from 3,300 to 3,620 mm, a width of 1,865 mm and heights from 1,505 to 1,930 mm; hydraulic lift capacity reaches up to 2,880 kg.
The R range served the Bavarian post-war reconstruction market, where MAN competed with Deutz, Hanomag, Eicher and Fendt for mid-size field tractors; with the sale of the tractor division to Fendt in 1962, MAN's independent tractor manufacture in Nuremberg came to an end.
On used tractors, the MAN diesel engine with injection pump, clutch and gearbox, hydraulics and linkage, brakes and sheet metal and frame for rust count; since the make has built no tractors for over six decades, parts now run only through specialists and collector markets.

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.
