The D-212 Farmall has a water-cooled two-cylinder diesel engine with 1,089 cm³ displacement, producing 12 hp, or 8.8 kW; its rated speed is given as 1,750 or 1,800 rpm for two operating points. At 1,108 kg, with a 1,727 mm wheelbase and a width of 1,585 mm against a height of 1,560 mm, it is a compact, narrow-built tractor.
With a top speed of 18 km/h, the D-212 Farmall falls under Germany's driving licence category T. A two-cylinder diesel engine of just over a litre is built for simplicity and low fuel consumption rather than for the high pulling power delivered by larger four- or six-cylinder series.
When buying such a compact two-cylinder diesel, smooth running of the engine is an important check, since with only two cylinders a single faulty one reduces output far more than in larger engines. The narrow track also calls for a close check of the steering and front axle bearings for play, and for cracks in the thin sheet metal typical of such a light machine, along with the condition of the brake linkage.
