Lubrication. By constant circulation of oil held within the sump of the engine, 3.5 litres. The circulation by pumped pressure also from crankcase compression. (Graissage par pompe incorporée).
Cooling. Air-cooled with a large aluminium fan which is mounted at the front of the engine, running on ball bearings. This system draws air into the hood circulating around the engine, ensuring cooling. this system was tested in extremely high temperatures and proved effective. Refroidissement par air forcé (ventilateur puissant).
Injection. Bosch, high-pressure tubing, Porte injector. Presser of injection 120 kg/cm3.
Starting. Electric starter moteur or by hand crank, direct on to the moteur, – located at the front of the engine.
Air filter/Cleaner. Metallic element in oil – (dependent upon the element that can be oil surface coated).
Steering. By worm gear.
Oil Reservoir. 2.5 litres.
Gears. The three-speed gearbox is built within the engine offering 6 forward and 3 reverse gears. At extra cost you could buy a reducer gearbox that would allow you 12 gears/speeds instead of 6. This gives you more options for fast/rampantes, normal/normales, slow/lentes – for road work to grass cutting. Effectively a 6 speeds rapid and 6 speed slow/lente.
Differential. Blockable.
Speeds. 1st gear 2.5 kmph, 2nd gear 3.8 kmph, 3rd gear 5.8 kmph, 4th gear 8 kmph, 5th gear 12 kmph, 6th gear 20 kmph.

Brakes. On each rear wheel shoe type, pressure by manual foot pedals, independent that can be linked.
Hitch. 3 point lift manual, automatic or hydraulic type Dynabloc. (depending upon the option selected). Breveté system S.G.D.G. (patented in France and the UK) articulated strengthened with universal fitment to all ancillary equipment. Enabling the adjustment of draft and other characteristics required to operate the implements at different depths. The Dynabloc automatic was tested some 200 000, lifting 250kgs, without loss of lift capability.
Ploughing depth. Up to 12 ins (30.48 cms) dependent upon soil conditions.
Fuel consumption. 0.6 to 1.75 litres of fuel per hour dependent upon working conditions. the tank holds approx.13 litres. (Réservoir de carburant).
Weight. With no accessories 765 kgs. Then really depends on the tracteur set up. An example a tracteur with 8 x 24 tyres + S type relevage dynabloc = 910kgs. Alternatively with tyres full of water + 78 kgs and metal wheel weights + 92 kgs. = 1080 kgs. It depends on how you set the tracteur up for ploughing more weight and for lighter spraying (without 200 litres of fluid) – a lot less.
Turning circle/Angle of safe working. 1.80m, it was able to operate safely at a maximum angle of 30 degrees at a width of 0.85 m.
Dimensions. Length 2.35 m, width 0.85 m (85 cm, 90 cms, 95 cms, 100 cms, 105 cms, 110 cms and 120 cms), height to seat 0.85 m and height to steering wheel 1.25m. (Longueur totale 2.3 m, Largeur de 0.85 m, à 1.25 m Hauteur au volant). The model Vigneron has a width min. 0.85 m, with the normal model width of 1.26 m.These are different to the Energic 511 Mark 1 tracteurs just by small amounts; length + 15 cms height at steering wheel + 10 cms and so on. The model Fermier was also available with side protectors for crops, Bavlotes angularies, at an extra price.

****Rotivators/Cultivateur rotatif****
Branded Energic “Rotener”, patented S.G.D.G. for tracteurs with fast gearing. It was adapted to go behind Dynabloc’s PTO/prise de force. It was designed to condition the soil by rotating on its axis with power directly from the rear PTO. The depth of rotative penetration was automatic, with the width being regulated between 1 m and 1.20 m.
****Rear PTO output****
The PTO/prise de force can operate a pulley wheel of various diameters from 110 mm, 150 mm, 180 mm, to 210 mm. This system can operate external large equipment like combines, moissonneuse, manure distributors/ epandeur de fumier, cutting bars/barre de coupe etc., It can be operated through 6 speeds/gears and is operated stationary for pumps, saws, threshers etc. This PTO box pulley system is attached by 6 screws and can easily be placed or detached.
****Spraying system/Pulvérisateur****
Maximum capacity of 200 litres, for the treatment of trees, shrubs, vines, fruit trees in all forms of agriculture large to small. The sprayer operates from 0 to 40 kg/cm2 pressure (3 pistons). This can be regulated depending upon the usage, treatment and product. It is operated directly from the PTO/prise de force and can spray through up to 3 lances.
****Rear lifts options*****
Type A Dynabloc automatic. Low maintenance, lifting capacity of 250 kgs, The PTO/Prise de force comes out of the back of the Dynabloc system when lifted out of the way. You can either tow from the chap/crochet on the dynabloc or the bar de outils. This system could be fitted to a narrow width of 511/2 as shown in the photo above. (Attelage type S)
Type B manual lift. Operated with a lever system pulling through gears and ratchet a cable to raise the towing hook for the ploughs etc. You could either pull the implements/outils directly behind the tracteur or set them at an angle to suit the type of agriculture, viticulture you were operating in.
Type C hydraulic lift/revelage hydraulique. Using a 3 point system – operating through the pressure of oil through the Dynabloc, that can be infinitely variable for height and pressure.
****Winch/Treuil****
Model B from 1953 fitted with a winch/treuil option. (steel cable 100, 150 and 200 meters in length). The winch could be operated at 6 speeds. It was primary used in the following conditions; when the soil is very heavy (clay-based) when cutting the earth was impossible with a towed plough, when pulling very heavy loads/logs. The winch pulley pulls the cable from the side. It could be fitted with other ancillary equipment modified for specific use. Also, you could attach a hook/bar for towing.
