Renault D range – five early field tractors from Le Mans, the D 16 to the E 30, two- to four-cylinder engines of 11.8 to 25.8 kW, 16 to 35 hp, MWM diesel engine
The Renault D range was an early generation of compact Renault field tractors, built at the Le Mans plant; the register lists here the D 16, D-22, D 30, D 35 and E 30. The number in the type designation names the power class in hp, driven by two- to four-cylinder engines, including the MWM AKD-112D type.

The register lists here five versions with 11.8 to 25.8 kW, or 16 to 35 hp, from two- to four-cylinder engines of 1,400 to 2,715 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 1,420 to 1,623 kg, lengths from 2,720 to 3,546 mm, widths from 1,500 to 1,584 mm and heights from 1,480 to 1,550 mm at speeds of 1,700 to 1,850 rpm; four models ran on diesel, one on petrol.
As compact tractors for smaller farms, the D range stood at the start of Renault's broader post-war tractor line-up and covered a segment later complemented by the larger LB and TS ranges; competitors in the same market segment included Ferguson, Fiat and the smaller Deutz models.
When buying used, the condition of the injection pump, or carburettor on the petrol model, the cooling system and corrosion on wings and sheet-metal parts matter; spare parts for this early Renault generation and the MWM engine are stocked by dealers specialising in historic farm machinery. It is also worth checking the wing panels and cab floor, where fitted, for corrosion.

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.
