Heider B vs Heider C 12-20

Verdict: Heider B vs Heider C 12-20

The Heider B and the Heider C 12-20 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Heider B leads on rated power with 10 hp against 9 hp. Heider B is the lighter machine (2,630 kg vs 2,721 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Heider B holds more fuel (98.4 L vs 79.5 L) for longer stints between fills. Heider C 12-20 is the newer design (1916 vs 1911). In short: choose the Heider B for outright pulling power, or the Heider C 12-20 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more. Compare the full spec tables below before booking a demo.

Heider (a part of Rock Island)Reference
The Heider friction drive transmission was an infinitely-variable transmission. Speed was selected by sliding the entire engine, which changed the contact point between the flywheel and the driving discs. Although any speed was possible, there were seven notches for the lever, effectively giving seven speeds.Reference
