Renault Vigneron: narrow specialists for viticulture, up to 65 hp, two-, three- and four-cylinder air-cooled diesels, narrow build for vine rows
While the 50 series offered vineyard variants only as an add-on, the standalone Vigneron series bundles purpose-built narrow-track tractors that Renault Agriculture produced from 1976 into the 1980s specifically for viticulture — "vigneron" is French for winegrower.

The register lists 6 live models, from the 460 S-Vigneron to the 90 S, built between 1976 and 1985. Output ranges from 25.8 to 47.8 kW, or up to 65 hp, weight from 1,485 to 1,845 kg, displacement from 1,884 to 3,770 cm3, across two-, three- and four-cylinder engines.
Defining features of this series are its narrow width and low build height, allowing it to manoeuvre between tight vine rows, combined with comparatively low weight against standard tractors of the same power class.
The Vigneron series thus added a niche segment to Renault's line-up that most competitors offered only as special equipment.
When buying used narrow Vigneron models, the availability of matching narrow tyres, the condition of the reduced mudguards after work in tight vine rows, and – on the air-cooled engines – the cooling fins and fan all matter; clutch, gearbox and hydraulic tightness should be checked as on any older Renault model. Parts for the shared engine base are usually available, though viticulture-specific fittings are scarcer. PTO and three-point hitch correspond in this power class to ISO 730 Category I, at 540 rpm.

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.
