Thank you for your interest in our MAN Ackerdiesel Allrad 4R2-6.
As connoisseurs will already have seen, this is the very rare MAN tractor model.
The 6-cylinder version in this series. Very unique and very rare.
Very few specimens of this MAN were made in 1957 with a 6-cylinder inline engine by MAN. These MAN engines were specifically made for a very limited issue, in short: very unique.
Normally, MAN only manufactured the 4-cylinder engines for the 4R2, but MAN had to do and think of something to keep up with the competition, and then we thought: we will use our own 6-cylinder inline engines from our lorries for our tractors.
As is mentioned in the title, it is an "allrad", which means a 4x4 drive.
This MAN was restored and revised in the year 2012. Since then, it has been displayed at various exhibitions and has been used for various tours. The front tyres have been renewed and are brand new. Bonnet has minor damage from putting it on and taking it off.
The 6-cylinder MAN engine was revised int he past and runs perfectly. The engine starts immediately and nicely and calmly.
This MAn also has the very rare 5-speed transmission with a top speed of 40 km/h! It is a fast one! It also has the creep-gear function.
The original lifting device and hydraulics connection have been disassembled, fully revised and checked. Everything works perfectly.
Electric parts have been fully checked, everything works, incl. the brake lights.
Foot and handbrake have been checked, also work perfectly and direct.
As you can see, the original fritzmeier canvas cabin is on it. Very rare and this option was rarely chosen for in 1957 due to its high cost. The canvas was also reupholstered by a specialised company and is like new.
Was also sandblasted and resprayed in 2012. But over time and due to use, the paint is not fully in new condition, but in good, used condition. Here and there once touched up because the tractor was used, of course.
In short: a very nice and unique MAN tractor. You will rarely or never see something like this again! And definitely not with original hydraulics and high-speed transmission. Tow hitch, hole bar and top bar are included.
We can mediate with regards to transport.
Very valuable investment that will increase in value.
It can be picked up in Hardenberg, the Netherlands. 67222783
