Technical description
The Brockenhexe is a tractor with a frameless block construction, front swing axle and a rigid rear axle. Only the rear tyres are driven. Due to the lack of a small DDR-made diesel engine, a Deutz licensed engine is used. The inline two cylinder four stroke diesel engine with water-cooling and prechamer injection with the name F2M 414 produces 16,2 kW at 1500 min−1; the displacement is 2200 cm³. The engine has a decompression system and a crank for starting. The torque is transmitted to the gearbox with a clutch of the type Renak 16K. As well as the engine, the gearbox is licensed. It is a ZF Friedrichshafen four-speed gearbox with a reverse gear. For braking, drum brakes are used, the hand brake is a gearbox brake. For power take-off, the tractor has a belt-pulley and an engine speed dependent PTO. Some tractors were equipped with a cab, some tractors also have a mowing bar.
