Introduction

Renault D22: A Classic Agricultural Tractor

The Renault D22 is a two-wheel drive tractor manufactured in Le Mans, France, between 1956 and 1960. Designed for general agricultural tasks, this model served as a reliable workhorse during the mid-20th century.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by an air-cooled, two-cylinder MWM AKD 112 Z diesel engine. With a displacement of 1.8 liters (110.5 ci) and a rated operating speed of 1700 RPM, the engine produces 22 horsepower (16.4 kW). It utilizes an electric starter system with 12-volt architecture and a negative ground connection. The engine oil capacity is 5.0 liters.

Transmission and PTO

The D22 features a gear-type transmission providing 6 forward speeds and 1 reverse gear. The rear power take-off (PTO) is independent, operating at 540 RPM, which is achieved at an engine speed of 1582 RPM. This configuration allows for the operation of various standard agricultural implements.

Dimensions and Chassis

The tractor is built on a 171 cm (67.7 inches) wheelbase with an overall length of 299 cm (118.1 inches). It features manual steering and an open operator station. The shipping weight is 1480 kg (3263 lbs), with a maximum weight capacity of 2115 kg (4663 lbs). Ground clearance is 38 cm (15 inches), and the tractor is typically equipped with 5.50-16 front tires and 10-28 rear tires.

Conclusion

The Renault D22 is a straightforward, mechanically simple machine suited for small-scale farming and vintage equipment enthusiasts. Its robust air-cooled diesel engine and standard PTO configuration make it a practical representative of French agricultural machinery from the late 1950s.
