Martin – other models: collective page for small tractors F22 and "Martin oder Typ 1" outside named series, two-cylinder, 2,041 to 2,198 cm³, 15 to 16 kW

This page gathers early small tractors labelled Martin that the register could not assign to any separate series; the versions listed are the F22 and a model recorded in the register only as "Martin oder Typ 1". Both share a two-cylinder diesel engine and stand for the many small, barely documented tractor builders of the post-war period.

The register lists 2 versions here with 15 to 16 kW from the two-cylinder diesel engine of 2,041 to 2,198 cm³ displacement, at 1,500 revolutions per minute. Kerb weights range from 1,555 to 1,650 kg.

Small-series builders such as the Martin operation recorded here served local demand in the 1950s that the large brands did not cover, usually with simple, rugged designs built around bought-in engines. For the history of farm technology, such small series are of interest today mainly as evidence of the broad manufacturing landscape of the post-war years.

When buying used from such a small series, documentation matters most: type plates, engine numbers and comparison with known photographs help pin down the exact model. Technically, the injection pump, clutch and simple steering should be checked; spare parts are usually limited to the bought-in engine, while sheet-metal and mounting parts have to be remade individually by hand or sourced from parts donors of the same engine family.

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