Gilou15 50 #1 Posted Friday at 07:10 PM (edited) Bonjour, Je souhaite en savoir plus sur les séries D : En particulier les différentes transmissions, leur fiabilité et leur réputation. On en voit pas ici en France Ils semblent plus gros que les séries C Sont ils plus utilisables que les 518/520H Lesquels valent le mieux au travail ? Merci pour vos réponses/Gilou Hello ! I would like to know all about D series tractors : transmissions/ hydro /reliability/value at work etc.... Thanks for your answers /Gilou Edited Friday at 07:13 PM by Gilou15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 13,050 #2 Posted Friday at 08:22 PM The D series are much larger than the C series; they are a true Compact Tractor. They were made in Belgium - the 2 smaller ones - D180 and D200 had Onan engines I believe. The big boy, the D250 had a 25HP liquid 4 cylinder Renault car engine. The two biggest drawbacks are that no implements for the D series interchange with other models. And since they were made roughly 45 years ago, finding replacement parts can be a challenge..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 69,285 #3 Posted 23 hours ago The D series is a heavy duty unit. The Sundstrand hydrostatic transmission is directly coupled to the engine and its output is connected to the drive axle by hydraulic piping. The Kohler engines are an industrial grade unit unlike the ones used on the 400 and 500 series Wheel Horses. There may not be very many "D" series units in Europe as I beleave they were only made in the USA. Les modèles de la série D sont des machines robustes. La transmission hydrostatique Sundstrand est directement accouplée au moteur, tandis que sa sortie est reliée à l'essieu moteur par des conduites hydrauliques. Les moteurs Kohler utilisés sont de qualité industrielle, contrairement à ceux qui équipaient les séries 400 et 500 de Wheel Horse. Il est probable que les modèles de la série D soient peu nombreux en Europe, car ils n'étaient, à ma connaissance, fabriqués qu'aux États-Unis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The D-160, 180 and 200 were made by Wheel Horse in Indiana (USA) The D250 is actually a re-badged Gotbrod tractor made on Belgium. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
