Dexheimer PC

The register lists 2 variants with 43.5 to 48 kW, or 60 to 65 hp, from three-cylinder engines of 2,827 to 3,120 cc displacement at a rated speed of 2,300 rpm. Unladen weights fall between 1,900 and 1,950 kg, with dimensions of 2,800 mm in length, 1,250 to 1,300 mm in width and 1,950 mm in height.

With its compact overall width and moderate weight combined with a punchy three-cylinder engine, the PC range suits operations needing a manoeuvrable yet capable tractor for field and haulage work. The 370 PC turbo variant extends the range to more pulling-intensive tasks.

When buying used, the turbo model in particular warrants close attention to regular oil changes and the condition of the turbocharger, as turbocharged engines are more sensitive to oil starvation. Clutch and gearbox should be checked for wear, and the hydraulics for adequate delivery pressure. The narrow track width calls for particular attention to steering and axle kingpins, and the mounting points of the front axle should be inspected for play built up from years of field work. Rust around the footboards and the fuel tank is also worth a close look before agreeing a price.
