Renault Vinyard series: narrow-track vineyard tractors from Le Mans, four types from 32-50 V to 70-14 V, 33.1 to 49.3 kW (45 to 67 hp), widths of just 970 to 1,115 mm for work between tight vine rows

The Vinyard series denotes, for Renault Agriculture of Le Mans, the manufacturer's narrow-track vineyard tractors; the V suffix refers to the French word vigneron, meaning vine-grower. The models 32-50 V, 50-12 V, 55-12 V and 70-14 V use their first digits to state engine power in hp and the following ones the number of forward gears, as was typical for Renault tractors of this generation.

The register lists 4 versions with 33.1 to 49.3 kW, or 45 to 67 hp, from three- to four-cylinder engines of 2,827 to 3,770cc, torque from 155 to 223 Nm at 2,350 rpm, kerb weights from 1,705 to 2,080 kg, lengths from 3,190 to 3,498 mm and narrow widths from 970 to 1,115 mm.

The Vinyard series' narrow track allowed work between the tight vine rows of French and southern European vineyards, where standard tractors would have been too wide; Renault thereby occupied the same niche as specialist vineyard tractors from Fiat, Same and Massey Ferguson. They were sold mainly in the vineyard regions of France, such as Champagne, Bordeaux and the Loire Valley.

When buying used, check the condition of the narrow tyres and axles, engine and hydraulic oil-tightness, clutch and gearbox wear, and corrosion on the chassis and mudguards; given the small production numbers of vineyard tractors, sourcing spare parts is often more involved than for standard tractors.

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.
