Valmet 565 tractors manufactured between 1964-68 had a straight-3 diesel engine with a displacement of 2685 cc. The engine configurations articles seem to be generally more about cars and motorcycles.

: I agree, some european tractor manufacturers like the Valmet 33, 359, 565 synchro etc., Nuffield (universal three), or Fordson (Marque of Ford tractors before late 1970's) in it's Dexta and Super Dexta, used diesel inline 3s as powerplants. These had a displacement of usually around 2- to 3-liters and they were notable in their time, for example Valmet's 3-cyl being one of the first of its kind to have direct injection. And these were far larger than the Alfa diesel, and appeared long before it did.

What about tractors?

Valmet 565 tractors manufactured between 1964-68 had a straight-3 diesel engine with a displacement of 2685 cc. The engine configurations articles seem to be generally more about cars and motorcycles.

I agree, some european tractor manufacturers like the Valmet 33, 359, 565 synchro etc., Nuffield (universal three), or Fordson (Marque of Ford tractors before late 1970's) in it's Dexta and Super Dexta, used diesel inline 3s as powerplants.
