SFV (Vierzon tractors) – other models: the collective page of the Société Française de Vierzon, types 202 to 302, one- to four-cylinder engines of 18 to 24 kW
This page gathers the tractors of the Société Française de Vierzon the register could not assign to a named range – the French maker from Vierzon in the Cher department, which under the Vierzon-Traktoren brand built farm tractors with one to four cylinders, mainly in the 1950s. The types 202, 203D, 203DV, 203S and 302 show the brand's typical three-digit numbering with letter suffixes for engine and drive variants; D marks the diesel version.

The register lists here 5 versions with 18 to 24 kW from one- to four-cylinders of 1,282 to 5,350 cc, unladen weights from 975 to 2,200 kg, lengths from 2,300 to 2,960 mm and widths from 710 to 1,790 mm.
The Vierzon tractors were, in the 1950s, one of the smaller French brands for smallholder farming, with simple, sturdy designs for small to medium-sized farms in the arable regions of central France. Alongside Renault and Someca, it was one of the brands that kept French farming moving during the post-war mechanisation of agriculture.
On the early Vierzon tractors, what counts is the condition of the engine and cooling system, the tightness of the mechanical lift, the condition of tyres and brakes, and the completeness of the data plate and attachments; parts for these rare models can practically only be sourced through collectors and specialist vintage-parts dealers, as well as the condition of tyres and lighting on these rarely driven machines today.

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.
