The Appeal

The Porsche Diesel Hofherr Schrantz 122 is among the rarest of all Porsche-branded tractors. Produced in 1957 through a partnership with the Austrian agricultural firm Hofherr-Schrantz, only 22 examples of this specific model are believed to have been delivered, making it a notably scarce machine with both Porsche heritage and vintage agricultural appeal.

This reportedly matching-numbers example has been the subject of extensive refurbishment in recent years, reportedly covering mechanical, cosmetic, and electrical work. The vendor notes the air-cooled twin-cylinder diesel engine has been inspected and fitted with numerous new parts, while the bodywork was sandblasted and repainted by a professional paint shop with all original logos preserved and restored. Equipped with three PTO shafts and a lifting mechanism, it remains a functional piece of engineering as well as a collectable one. The vendor states that it drives, brakes, and shifts well. A Classic Data appraisal (Gutachten) of €39,000 accompanies the tractor.
