Renault Atles range – large tractors Atles 926 to 936 RZ from 2003 to 2007, 166 to 184 kW, six-cylinder engines of 7,146 cm³, biodiesel-capable

The Atles range was the last standalone large-tractor range developed under the Renault name, built between 2003 and 2007 already in the transition period to Claas, which had taken over Renault's tractor division in 2003; the models covered here, Atles 926, 935 and 936, all carry the RZ suffix. Unlike earlier Renault ranges, the Atles engines were factory-set up to run on biodiesel.

The register lists here 3 versions with 166.3 to 184 kW, or 226 to 250 hp, from six-cylinder engines of 7,146 cm³, torque of around 950 Nm, unladen weights from 9,520 to 9,720 kg, lengths from 5,650 to 6,641 mm, a width of 2,550 mm, heights from 3,180 to 3,210 mm and a rated speed of 2,200 rpm.

With power up to 250 hp, the Atles range formed the top of the Renault line-up and competed with the large field tractors of Fendt, Case IH, Massey Ferguson and Claas itself; biodiesel capability was a distinguishing feature in this power class at launch.

On a used Atles, the condition of the clutch and powershift transmission, the tightness of the hydraulics and fuel system, rust on the chassis and cab mountings, and the condition of the electronics all count; parts run through the Claas network, which continued the range after the takeover. On the biodiesel-capable engines, the condition of the fuel filters and lines is also worth checking, as biodiesel places higher demands on the fuel system's seals.

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.
