Gutbrod 4250: three-cylinder diesel tractor from the 4000 series, 1,218 cc, 19 kW, 860 kg weight and a 1,295 mm wheelbase, top speed 20 km/h
Gutbrod was a German maker that, after ending car production in the 1950s, switched to garden and compact tractors and powered equipment for commercial horticulture, alongside lawnmowers and rotary tillers. The 4000 series belonged to the somewhat larger tractors in this range, which also includes the 4250.

The 4250 is powered by a three-cylinder diesel engine of 1,218 cc, producing 26 hp, or 19 kW. At a weight of 860 kg, a length of 2,255 mm, a height of 1,280 mm and a width of 1,045 mm, with a wheelbase of 1,295 mm, the machine reaches a top speed of 20 km/h.
A three-cylinder diesel engine of over 1.2 litres combined with a comparatively low weight marks out a compact tractor that is powerful for its size, suited to tillage with lighter to medium implements, mowing work and driving a power take-off at the standard speeds of 540 or 1,000 rpm. Machines of this kind were mainly used on smaller and medium-sized farms whose fields were too small or too irregular for large standard tractors.
When buying a Gutbrod 4250 secondhand, the condition of the diesel engine's injection pump and injectors, and the clutch and gearbox for wear, matter most. Also worth checking are the frame and axles for rust, the brakes, and the condition of the power-take-off coupling for mounted implements; spare parts for this Gutbrod series are available through specialist suppliers and Gutbrod collector circles.
