Schneider Mo 22: two-cylinder tractor with thermosiphon cooling, rated at 16.2 kW and 1,750 kg weight from the 1948 Mo range
The Mo 22 was built in the immediate post-war years, when smaller German engineering firms began producing simple field tractors for agriculture that needed rebuilding. Such firms often made tractors in small numbers, meant chiefly to replace horse teams on smaller farms.

The Mo 22 is powered by a two-cylinder engine of 2,040 cc with thermosiphon water cooling, producing 16.2 kW (22 hp) at 1,300 rpm. At a weight of 1,750 kg and a width of 1,600 mm, the tractor reaches a design top speed of 19 km/h. Height stands at 2,000 mm and length at 2,700 mm. The engine runs on diesel.
A two-cylinder of this power class with simple thermosiphon cooling and no water pump marks a light field tractor of the immediate post-war years, built for smaller mixed farms growing cereals and root crops. The 19 km/h top speed falls within today's L driving licence category, and four-wheel drive was not yet a feature of machines in this class.
A vehicle this old and built in such small numbers is today found mainly as a collector's or museum piece. At inspection, the completeness of original parts, the condition of the thermosiphon cooling and any rust damage to the sheet metal count among the most important points, along with the availability of spare parts and documentation for such a rarely built tractor.

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.
