Tier E Two-wheel tractor

Rapid Spezial

Petrol · Front-tine · width varies

A Swiss Einachser icon. Rapid's single-axle Type "S" Spezial (1950-78) was one of the first truly multi-functional walking tractors — mowing, tillage and, with a PTO-driven trailer, transport — and it mechanised a great deal of Alpine agriculture. Most ran a MAG four-stroke (around 9-14 PS depending on variant), with later Briggs & Stratton Vanguard options. It's a mower/carrier rather than a fixed-width rotavator (tineType is nominal). Rapid Technic still builds modern two-wheel tractors. Engine and years from Rapid's history and listings; power varies by variant and weight is class-typical, so specs are flagged.

From £400–£2,000
