Renault CERES-300-X series – four-cylinder tractors from Renault Agriculture: Ceres 345 X (A) and Ceres 355 X A, 64 to 71.4 kW, 4,525 cm³, 330 to 341 Nm at 2,350 rpm
Renault Agriculture of Le Mans named several of its tractor ranges after Roman deities; Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, gave the Ceres range its name. The CERES-300-X version comprises the Ceres 345 X (A) and Ceres 355 X A models, the A suffix marking an equipment variant. The X suffix in the model designation marked, for Renault, a particular equipment and technology level within the respective range.

The register lists here 2 versions with 64.0 to 71.4 kW from a four-cylinder engine of 4,525 cm³, an unladen weight of 3,700 to 3,905 kg, a length of 4,481 mm, a width of 1,860 mm, a height of 2,586 mm, torque of 330 to 341 Nm and a rated speed of 2,350 rpm.
The Ceres-300-X range sat in the upper mid-range of the Renault line-up, aimed at medium to larger arable farms in France and the rest of Western Europe. It thus occupied a market segment between the more compact and the very largest Renault ranges of the time.
Buyers of used units should check the injection system, clutch and gearbox, as well as the hydraulics, cab seals and rust on the frame; spares run through the Claas dealer network, which took over support for the older Renault ranges. Before purchase it is also worth checking the front axle, steering and the condition of the hydraulic lines. A look at the service history helps assess how the tractor has been used.

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.
