Renault Super: the tractors of the early 1960s, 24 to 46 hp, two-, three- and four-cylinder diesels, D/(A) suffixes for diesel and four-wheel-drive versions
Renault Agriculture grew out of the carmaker's armoured vehicle division in 1918 and built its first tractors from 1919. The Super series of the early-to-mid 1960s belongs to the classic generation that preceded the major model renewal brought by the D series and later TX range.

The register lists 11 live models, from the Super 2-D to the Super 7-D (A), built between 1962 and 1970. Output ranges from 17.8 to 42 kW, or 24 to 46 hp, weight from 1,460 to 1,800 kg, displacement from 1,810 to 2,715 cm3, across two-, three- and four-cylinder engines.
The type numbers (2 to 7) follow a simple power hierarchy; the suffixes "D" and "(A)" denote diesel power and four-wheel-drive versions respectively, already available as an option from Renault at the time.
As a compact all-rounder for smaller and mid-sized arable and grassland farms, the Super series marks the last purely French design generation before Renault Agriculture's stronger internationalisation in the 1970s.
When buying a used example of this early series, clutch and mechanical gearbox condition, and on the four-wheel-drive (A) versions the front axle and its joints as well, plus rust on chassis and mudguards after decades of use, all matter; on the air-cooled two-cylinder models, the condition of the cooling fins and fan counts too. Parts for this early series now run mainly through independent farm-machinery workshops and collector exchanges.

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.
