Konedata is a non-commercial Finnish site for farmers and other people who are searching technical data and information of tractors and combine harvesters. An English version of this site is not planned.
Technical data is based on sales brochures and data is valid for tractors/combines sold in Finland. Models with ”ei FIN” are not sold in Finland and the data is taken from Swedish, German or British brochures.
