Introduction
Fahr D17N Tractor
The Fahr D17N is a two-wheel-drive agricultural tractor produced between 1953 and 1955. Part of the D17 series, this model was designed as a compact and functional machine for standard field operations during the post-war era.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Guldner 2DN two-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 1.3 liters (79.6 cubic inches). It features liquid cooling and a bore/stroke ratio of 85 x 115 mm, delivering a power output of 17 hp (12.7 kW). This engine configuration was selected to provide consistent torque for mid-range agricultural tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Equipped with a ZF A8B manual transmission, the D17N offers five forward gears and one reverse gear. This gear arrangement allows the operator to select appropriate speeds for various implements. The tractor utilizes a two-wheel-drive system and manual steering, reflecting the mechanical simplicity common to tractors of this period.
Dimensions and Hydraulics
The machine has a wheelbase of 164 cm (64.6 inches), a total length of 258 cm (101.6 inches), and a width of 156 cm (61.5 inches). With a dry weight of 1231 kg (2715 lbs), it provides a stable platform for field work. It is equipped with a rear power take-off (PTO) operating at 540 RPM, facilitating the use of standard agricultural implements.
Conclusion
With a total production run of 2,226 units, the Fahr D17N remains a notable example of mid-1950s engineering. Its compact dimensions and straightforward mechanical design make it suitable for light agricultural duties and demonstrate the focus on utility and durability prevalent in Fahr's manufacturing of that era.
