The 712 Mototracteur models were rare, it is thought only some 200+ were produced from the 1955 model A (with model B starting in 1956). They initially used the same identification plaque as the 411 with the numeric notation 70***, and in 1956 the mototracteurs used their own identification plaque. The mototracteur were found to be difficult to manoeuvre, with poor weight distribution In the working environment – it was necessary to have additional weight/s added at the rear to enable this mototracteur to perform its basic functions. Staub, of the time, offered a better mototracteur alternative and the Energic mototracteur 712 was phased out. Later to be replaced with the extensive 4RM tractors, they were worthy competition to the Staub and other direct competitor ranges. (I have a record from 3/1963 from the factory with prices for the 712 range, which were for sale alongside the 4RM ranges).
