The TED-D20 has a four-cylinder engine with 2,088 cm³ displacement, producing 20 kW, and a four-speed gearbox. At an unladen weight of 1,150 kg, a permissible gross weight of 1,400 kg, a length of 2,920 mm and a width of 1,680 mm, it is a light all-purpose tractor from the lower power class of its time.
A four-speed gearbox without a range splitter was typical for small all-purpose tractors in the 1950s and sufficed for field work with towed or mounted implements at a moderate working pace. The 250 kg difference between unladen and permissible gross weight shows the limited, but for a tractor of this size typical, payload margin for the driver, implements and ballast.
When buying such an old four-cylinder tractor, the function of all four gears and the shift linkage should be checked, since worn synchro rings or loose bearings are common on vehicles of this age. The condition of the radiator, carburettor or injection system, and the load-bearing panels, also deserve a close inspection, since replacement sheet metal for such an old, low-volume model is not easy to source.

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.
