Renault Ceres 300 range – five four-cylinder field tractors from Le Mans, the Ceres 325 to the 355 A, 49.3 to 71.4 kW, 3,520 to 3,725 kg unladen weight, some four-wheel drive
The Renault Ceres 300 range was a tractor generation with four-cylinder diesel engines, built at the Renault plant in Le Mans; the register lists here the Ceres 325 (A), 335 (A), 340 (A), 345 (A) and 355 A. The number in the type designation rises with the power class, the A suffix denoting the four-wheel-drive version.

The register lists here five versions with 49.3 to 71.4 kW from four-cylinder engines of 3,920 to 4,525 cm³ displacement, torque from 265 to 341 Nm, unladen weights from 3,520 to 3,725 kg, lengths from 4,280 to 4,481 mm, widths from 1,860 to 2,110 mm and heights from 2,586 to 2,760 mm at a rated speed of 2,350 rpm.
With the Ceres name, Renault moved its tractor models to a new naming logic based on power classes rather than pure numeric codes; the 300 range positioned itself in the mid to upper power segment for arable farms, competing with comparable ranges from Fiat, Massey Ferguson and Deutz-Fahr.
When buying used, the condition of the injection pump and cooling system, wear on clutch and gearbox, function of the four-wheel drive on the A models and corrosion on the cab frame and wings matter; spare parts are stocked by specialist farm-machinery dealers and parts traders for historic Renault equipment. The four-wheel-drive models extended the range of use to heavier soils and work with larger mounted implements.
