Dexheimer 400 Si – narrow-track vineyard tractor from Dexheim in Rhenish Hesse: four-cylinder diesel, 46 to 66 kW, 1,050 mm width for working between vine rows
The Dexheimer 400 Si is a narrow-track vineyard tractor from the maker based in Dexheim in Rhenish Hesse, one of the classic German wine-growing regions. The four models 460, 470, 480 and 490 Si share overall length, width and height and differ only in the engine fitted, pointing to a shared chassis platform with stepped power variants offered to match the size of the vineyard operation.

The register lists here four versions with 46 to 66 kW (62 to 90 hp) from four-cylinder engines of 3,908 cm3 displacement. Unladen weight ranges from 2,300 to 2,380 kg, overall length sits at 3,100 mm, width at 1,050 mm and height at 2,250 mm. Torque ranges from 250 to 365 Nm at a rated speed of 2,300 rpm.
The narrow width of just 1,050 mm lets the 400 Si drive between closely planted vine rows without damaging the vines, making it a specialised working machine for steep-slope and row viticulture where standard tractors are too wide.
On a used purchase of a narrow-track tractor of this type, what matters most is the frame and axles for distortion from work on steep slopes, the condition of the hydraulics and lift linkage for implements such as vine sprayers and mulchers, the clutch and brakes, and rust on the narrow mudguards. Since this is a smaller, specialised manufacturer, parts supply is more limited than for the large brands, and buyers often rely on regional viticultural-machinery workshops for servicing.
