The Super 1250 VL Special is powered by a water-cooled six-cylinder engine of 7,389 cc, producing 96 kW (130 hp) at 2,000 rpm with 530 Nm of torque. At a weight of 6,100 kg, a wheelbase of 2,720 mm and a width of 2,500 mm, the tractor reaches a design top speed of 40 km/h. Height stands at 2,875 mm and length at 4,625 mm. The engine runs on diesel.
A six-cylinder of more than seven litres marks a heavy field tractor, the kind used for tillage and drawbar work demanding high pulling force on larger farms. The 40 km/h top speed requires the German T driving licence category, the power take-off runs at the standard 540 or 1,000 rpm, and the three-point hitch follows ISO 730, typically carrying category 2 implements at this weight.
Buying a used six-cylinder this heavy, the injection system, the cooling system and hydraulic tightness deserve particular attention. Also worth checking at inspection are the sheet metal for rust damage, the condition of the PTO bearings and weighing recorded hours against overall condition.
