Dexheimer Allrad 370 Turbo (370 series): air-cooled three-cylinder turbodiesel engine of 2,827 cc, rated at 65 hp (48 kW) at 2,300 rpm, with four-wheel drive, a compact tractor built between 1977 and 1986
Air-cooled diesel engines, otherwise built mainly by Deutz and Hatz, needed no cooling water and so avoided problems with frost protection and leaks, making them popular with smaller German tractor makers in the 1970s and 1980s. The Allrad 370 Turbo, built between 1977 and 1986, relies on exactly this design, combined with a turbocharger.

The Allrad 370 Turbo is driven by an air-cooled, turbocharged three-cylinder diesel engine of 2,827 cc displacement, rated at 65 hp (48 kW) at 2,300 rpm. Unladen weight is 1,800 kg, height 1,950 mm. Drive goes to all four wheels, and top speed is 25 km/h.
Combining a turbocharger with four-wheel drive on a comparatively compact three-cylinder engine was not a given in this power class, and aimed at greater pulling power within a limited engine weight. The Allrad 370 Turbo thus belongs to the class of nimble, powerful compact tractors for tillage and haulage on medium-sized holdings, where four-wheel drive pays off on slopes or difficult ground.
When buying used, check the turbocharger for bearing play and oil leaks, the cylinder cooling fins for damage and dirt build-up, since air cooling depends on unobstructed airflow, and the four-wheel-drive clutch and transfer gearbox for wear. Parts for this rare model are mainly found through collectors and workshops specialising in older German compact tractors.
