Don Roque RV 125 Mecanica – Argentine combine harvester with either a Deutz or a Perkins diesel engine, 185 hp / 138 kW, for the large arable fields of the Pampas
The RV 125 Mecanica comes from Don Roque, an Argentine manufacturer of farm machinery. Argentina has had its own industry for self-propelled combine harvesters for decades, producing alongside the large international brands mainly for domestic grain and soybean farming, favouring rugged, easily repaired technology.

The RV 125 Mecanica is powered by a diesel engine from either Deutz or, alternatively, Perkins, rated at 185 hp, or 138 kW. This power class places the machine in the mid-to-upper range of self-propelled combines, above compact machines built for smaller acreages.
The option of fitting either a Deutz or a Perkins engine was long typical of regional South American manufacturers, who bought in drivetrain technology from established engine builders rather than developing their own units. The RV 125 Mecanica is accordingly built for work on the large, flat expanses of the Argentine Pampas, where long, steady harvest runs shape daily operation.
When buying a used RV 125 Mecanica, first establish which of the two possible engines – Deutz or Perkins – is actually fitted, since parts and service intervals differ between them. It is also worth checking the clutch, drivetrain and straw chopper for wear, and looking closely for corrosion on load-bearing frame parts after years of dusty Pampas field work.
