Though a rear three-point hydraulic lift was technically optional, it was so common in the U.S. imports that you could say “every one” had it. This one is missing its lower arms and links but has the adjustable hitch. For the Standard, the lift was a Class II and rated for about 2,800 lbs. The specs say this tractor was rated for a 2-14 mouldboard plow. When you look at specs for the four Porsche-Diesel tractor models, the plow rating is tied directly to the number of engine cylinders, in this case: two bottom for two cylinders. The hoop-like device on the rear fender is the passenger seating area. Not comfortable, but secure.
