Deutz D 5006 V/VA: narrow vineyard tractor from May 1974 with an air-cooled 2.8-litre three-cylinder engine, 32.9 kW and a width of 950 mm
The D 5006 V/VA belongs to Deutz's D-06 series, built in the 1970s in several power grades; this version was built from May 1974. On Deutz tractors of that period, the V suffix denotes the narrow vineyard version.

The air-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine with 2,826 cm³ of displacement produces 45 hp, or 32.9 kW, at 2,300 rpm. At just 1,540 kg, 950 mm wide and 1,265 mm high, the machine is markedly narrower and lower than an ordinary field tractor of the same output; with a 1,890 mm wheelbase it reaches a top speed of 25 km/h.
The narrow, low build, only 950 mm wide, is typical of tractors that have to move between tight rows of vines in vineyards or in narrow orchards, where an ordinarily wide field tractor would not fit. The air-cooled three-cylinder engine still delivers enough power without widening the slim build with a liquid-cooling circuit.
When buying a narrow vineyard tractor of this age used, the condition of the steering and front axle matters, as they are built for the tight turning circle needed between rows of vines, along with the cooling fan and cylinder fins of the air-cooled engine. Also worth checking are the clutch, brakes and possible damage to the narrow bodywork from contact with vines or branches, as well as corrosion on the thin sheet metal typical of this era.
