SFV Vierzon 201

Tamar Vintage Tractors - SFV Vierzon 201
 
*Sold*
The Vierzon 201 is a rare and unusual French-built, single-cylinder hot-bulb tractor. It's a fascinating piece of agricultural engineering.
 
Starting the tractor is part of its unique appeal. The cast-iron hot bulb in the cylinder head is heated before the engine is started by rocking the flywheel back and forth. Once you've mastered the technique, it's a surprisingly straightforward and rewarding machine to start!
 
Weighing just 1,200 kg, the Vierzon 201 is exceptionally lightweight compared with many tractors of its era. Considerably smaller than the British Field Marshall, it delivers a similar experience at a fraction of the size and cost. Its compact dimensions make it an excellent choice for rallies, shows, and vintage events.
 
This example is fitted with a PTO and hydraulic system, both of which are in good working order. It has spent several years as part of a private collection, and we have recently recommissioned it and returned it to running condition.
 
The tractor starts and runs very well, with the hydraulics operating as they should. It remains in its honest, original working clothes, displaying a wonderful patina that reflects its history and character.
 
It is also equipped with an electric starter, although this currently requires attention before it becomes operational.
 
If you're looking for something genuinely different, compact, and full of character, the Vierzon 201 is an excellent opportunity. Its lightweight design, unusual starting procedure, and distinctive appearance make it a standout exhibit at any rally or show.
