The Solis 26 is powered by a water-cooled three-cylinder engine of 1,319 cc, producing 19 kW (26 hp) at 2,500 rpm with 76 Nm of torque. At a weight of 1,070 kg and a wheelbase of 1,560 mm, the tractor has a hydraulic lift capacity of 600 kg. Length stands at 2,760 mm. The engine runs on diesel.
A three-cylinder of this size at just over a tonne marks a small compact tractor, the kind used for grassland upkeep, horticulture and light implements on smaller plots. The power take-off runs at the standard 540 rpm, and the three-point hitch at this lift capacity typically takes category 1 implements such as mowers or rotary tillers.
Buying a used compact tractor this small, the injection system and the condition of the cooling system deserve particular attention. Also worth checking at inspection are the hydraulic hoses for leaks, the condition of the PTO bearings, the availability of spare parts for this brand and weighing recorded hours against overall condition.

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.
