Hela

Introduced in 1968, the D 532 was the successor to the D 230 model. The Hela engine was replaced by a 3-cylinder 2.2-liter MWM. The 6+2 gearbox was available in either 20 or 25 km/h versions. The same model was exported to France and Belgium with power increased to 35 horsepower.

The D 527 replaced the earlier D 225. The 2.2-liter Hela engine was replaced by a 1.5-liter high-speed MWM. The 20 km/h version had 24 hp and the 25 km/h version 27 hp.

The D 340 A was a 40 hp four-wheel-drive tractor equipped with a 2.2-liter MWM. The 8+4 gearbox and front axle were produced by ZF. Power transmission to the front axle ran on the left side of the engine.

From these models onwards, Hela reported the tractor height up to the steering wheel, following the practice of other manufacturers. A selling point in advertisements was that the tractors featured powder coating, available in either red or green.

Hela D 527 - D 532, D 340

The D 540 and D 548 were the first Hela models equipped with the new two-part grille in 1965. These models, powered by a 3-cylinder Hela engine, were closely related to the D 138 and D 45. The most significant difference was the new Hela 9+4 gearbox, offering speeds from 0.7 to 27.4 km/h. Aside from engine power, the only other difference between the models was the tire size. The lift capacity of the lifting device with Bosch hydraulics was rated at 1600 kg.

In 1966, the D 254 was introduced, equipped with a 54-horsepower 4-cylinder MWM engine. Its gearbox was a ZF 8+4. The D 254 was the first Hela tractor available with four-wheel drive. The four-wheel-drive model featured hydrostatic steering.

Between 1969-71, a few D 254 tractors were also produced with a 3.4-liter 60 hp engine.

In 1970, the actual 60 hp production model D 260 was introduced. It had the same MWM engine but a ZF 16+8 gearbox. The rear-wheel-drive model remained more popular than the four-wheel-drive. In 1974, the D 260's engine increased to 4.2 liters and 70 horsepower.

The 1960 D 38 was the successor to the D 36. Like many other Hela models, the wheelbase was extended. The engine was a 3-cylinder 3.2-liter Hela pre-chamber diesel. The transmission was more robust than before. The standard number of gears remained 6+1. A dual clutch was available as an option. The lifting device featured a draft control system.

In the D 45, power was increased by raising the engine speed. There were two reverse gears, and the power take-off offered two speeds as well as a ground-driven PTO. These features were also present in the D 138, which replaced the D 38 in 1963.

These models remained in production until 1967, so the appearance was updated for 1966.

The models introduced in 1960 featured a new hood design and Helan’s 2-cylinder 2.2-liter prechamber diesel engine. Compared to the D 30 model, new features included ZF’s 8+4 gearbox, live power take-off, and weight transfer system. The ZF gearbox, used in many German tractors, had 2 ranges and reverse, making direction changes easy. These models were overshadowed by the lighter D225/230 models with the same power and were quickly discontinued.

Hela D 124 - D 130

Introduced in 1961, the D 225 was the successor to the successful D 24. The wheelbase had been extended by 20 centimeters. There were now two reverse gears, and the lifting device based on Bosch hydraulics featured a weight transfer system. The PTO speeds were 560 and 980.

Alongside it, a more powerful version, the D 230, was introduced. The engine was the same 2.2-liter Hela and the transmission 6+2. In addition to the higher power, the differences from the smaller model included a dual clutch and larger front tires. As an alternative to the traditional 20 km/h top speed, there were gear ratios enabling a faster 25 km/h.

In 1964, the lightweight 3-cylinder D 434 and D 438 were introduced, with the latter intended only for export markets. Export markets referred to West European neighboring countries of Germany. The engine was a 2.2-liter MWM and the transmission a Hela 6+2. A dual clutch was standard, and the PTO featured two speeds and a live PTO. The parallel model to the D 434 was the D 534 with a Hela 2-range 10+2 transmission. The D 538, in turn, was the more powerful export version of the same tractor. The power of both increased to 40 horsepower in 1970.

Since 1959, Hela tractors received a new hood design. The grille was now tilted forward diagonally and was the same color as the tractor. A larger portion of the tractors were painted red, previously used mainly for export markets, instead of green. Some earlier models also got the new hood, such as the D 115 and D 315.

In the 15-horsepower class, the new model was the D 415, which was lighter and had a shorter wheelbase than the two previously mentioned models. The engine was a 1.1-liter single-cylinder Hela. It was available with both water and air cooling. Hela did not produce any other air-cooled models. The 6-speed transmission was also in-house production, and a new feature was two reverse gears. The power take-off was standard equipment, while the lifting device was an optional extra as with other Hela models.

The successor to the D 117 was the D 218, which was still available with both air- and water-cooled MWM engines. New features included a 6+2 transmission, a power take-off with two speeds and drive power, and a weight transfer system.

In 1964, the D 218 was replaced by the D 420, which remained in production until 1973. The MWM engine was higher-revving than before. The appearance was updated in 1966 with a split front grille.

From 1967 onward, Hela began shifting from its own engines back to MWM. The smallest model in the range, the D 416, had an air-cooled 2-cylinder 1.0-liter 16-horsepower engine. The transmission was Hela’s 6+2. Red had now become a more popular color than green. The front axle with suspension remained standard, unlike many competitors.

Hela D 415 – D 420, D 218 

In 1956, a more modern and lighter large model, the D 36, was introduced. It featured a 3-cylinder MWM engine, available with either water or air cooling. Both versions sold in roughly equal numbers. The transmission was 6+1, and as the first Hela model, an optional road speed of over 20 km/h was available.

New accessories also included a power take-off independent of the driving clutch and Helamatic, which allowed the tractor to be moved and steered using a lever next to the rear fender. Export models were mostly red.
