The SAME (SLH) ARGON 50 (DT) belongs to the ARGON series. Production: 1993–2004. The engine delivers 50 hp (36.8 kW), has 3 cylinders, with a displacement of 3,000 cm³. Torque is 172 Nm. Rated speed is 2,350 rpm. The machine is 3,380 mm long, 1,640 mm wide and 2,245 mm high. The unladen weight is 2,090 kg. The wheelbase measures 1,975 mm. Ground clearance is 390 mm. Top speed is 30 km/h. Transmission: 16 V/8 R and 24 V/12 R. The engine is air-cooled. Tyres: front 7.50-16 ASF (DT: 11.2 R 20 AS), rear 14.9 R 28 AS. The fuel is diesel. The bore measures 105 mm. The stroke is 115.5 mm. The compression ratio is 17:1. Maximum torque is reached at 1,600 rpm. Construction: unit construction (no separate frame). The ARGON-Baureihe series covers 3 models. Rated output within it ranges from 50 to 70 hp; the ARGON 50 (DT) sits at the bottom of that range with 50 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the ARGON 60 (DT) above it with 60 hp. Unladen weight within it ranges from 2,090 to 2,600 kg; here the ARGON 50 (DT) sits at the bottom of that range with 2,090 kg. 21 SAME (SLH) models across 7 series are on record.

SAME (SLH) Argon range – tractors Argon 50 to 70 from the 1990s, 37 to 52 kW, three-cylinder engines of 3,000 cm³, DT four-wheel-drive versions

The Argon range was developed in the 1990s at SAME within the SLH group, the alliance of SAME, Lamborghini and Hürlimann; the models covered here, Argon 50, 60 and 70, carry the DT suffix on the two smaller versions for the doppia trazione four-wheel-drive version. The type number follows the logic typical of SAME, roughly denoting the power class in hp.

The register lists here 3 versions with 36.8 to 51.5 kW from three-cylinder engines of a uniform 3,000 cm³, torque from 172 to 255 Nm, unladen weights from 2,090 to 2,600 kg, lengths from 3,380 to 3,590 mm, widths from 1,640 to 1,780 mm, heights from 2,245 to 2,305 mm and a rated speed of 2,350 rpm.

With power in the range of 50 to 70 hp, the Argon range covered the lower to mid segment of the SAME line-up and competed with comparable compact and mid-range tractors from Massey Ferguson, Fiat and Deutz-Fahr; as four-wheel-drive versions, the DT models were also suited to sloping terrain such as in vineyards.

On a used Argon, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, the tightness of the hydraulics, rust on the chassis and wings, and, on the DT versions, the condition of the front-axle gearing and drive shafts also count; parts run through the SAME Deutz-Fahr network. The condition of the engine mounts and cab mountings is also worth checking, as wear here leads to increased vibration during operation on tractors of this class.

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.
