Torpedo – other models: the collective page of the tractors from Rijeka, from the D 40 06 and D 45 06 through the Kvarner 75A to the RX series, 30 to 130 kW, with own and licence-built Deutz engines
Torpedo was a tractor maker from Rijeka on the Croatian Adriatic coast. This page gathers the models the register could not assign to a named range: the D-types D 40 06 and D 45 06, the Kvarner 75A named after the Kvarner Gulf near Rijeka, and the RX series with the RX100, RX 120 and RX 170 Eruo, plus the TT-120 D. The brand built both its own engines and units under licence from Deutz, typical of the close technical ties between Yugoslav agricultural machinery makers and West German engine builders at the time.

The register lists 7 versions here with 30 to 130 kW, or 40 to 170 hp, from diesel engines typical of agricultural tractors of the period.
With this model range Torpedo served mainly the Yugoslav and later Croatian market for agricultural tractors, in an environment where licensed production of Western engine technology let domestic makers keep pace with international power classes. The span from compact types to the powerful RX 170 Eruo shows the brand offered both smaller farm tractors and more powerful machines for larger operations.
When buying a used Torpedo tractor, the condition of the licence-built Deutz engines or the brand's own units matters most, since continuous factory parts supply for the brand appears no longer to exist; gearbox, hydraulics and electrics should be checked as with any historic Balkan tractor, with spare parts most easily found through Croatian and former Yugoslav agricultural machinery specialists.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.

- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
