Hako HAKOtrac T8: air-cooled single-cylinder two-stroke, 247 cc, 8 hp, or 5.9 kW, 230 kg weight and a top speed of 15 km/h, built around 1961
Hako Hans Koch und Sohn was the earlier company name of the manufacturer known today as Hako, based in Bad Oldesloe in Schleswig-Holstein. The HAKOtrac T8 was built around 1961 and was larger and more powerful than the smaller HAKOrecord and HAKOrette series.

The HAKOtrac T8 is powered by an air-cooled single-cylinder engine of 247 cc, running on a two-stroke fuel mix of 1:25, producing 8 hp, or 5.9 kW, at 4,500 rpm. At a weight of 230 kg, a length of 1,800 mm, a height of 1,250 mm and a width of 800 mm, with a wheelbase of 1,150 mm, the machine reaches a top speed of 15 km/h.
With 247 cc of displacement and just under 6 kW, the HAKOtrac T8 sits above the very small HAKOrette and HAKOrecord in terms of capability, but still well below an ordinary field tractor: such a machine was built for transport work, driving small implements, and use in horticultural and municipal operations, where low weight and compact dimensions mattered more than high drawbar pull.
When buying a HAKOtrac T8 secondhand, the cooling fins and fan of the air-cooled single-cylinder engine and the carburettor setting for the two-stroke mix matter most. Also worth checking are wear in the clutch and gearbox and the brakes; spare parts for this old, small series are now only available through specialist collectors and suppliers.
