The register lists here 2 versions with 55.2 to 62.6 kW from four-cylinder engines of 3,920 to 4,625 cm³, an unladen weight of 3,455 to 3,480 kg, a length of 4,087 mm, a width of 1,929 mm, a height of 2,550 mm, torque of 261 to 289 Nm and a rated speed of 2,350 rpm.

The Ceres-X range covered the mid power band of the Renault line-up and targeted medium-sized arable and grassland farms in France and the rest of Western Europe. It thus occupied a market segment between the more compact standard tractors and the large 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.
