The T 500 was replaced by the renewed 2200-series models at the end of 1978. Now, two power classes were available: 56 and 68 hp. Also new was a four-wheel-drive model, which featured a Japanese Kimco front axle. The four-wheel drive was engaged electro-hydraulically. The cab was similar to that of the T 500, the engine was Perkins, and the transmission and rear axle were from International. The gearbox was synchronized except for the range selector, and the layout of the gear lever was British-style, i.e., positioned on the left side. The 11" clutch in the 2200 had 4 sintered friction plates, while the 2250 had six. The brakes now had oil separate from the hydraulic fluid, which reduced previous problems. Draft sensing was done through the draft arms. Surprisingly, in a test of 10 tractors by the Swedish National Machinery Testing Institute, the heater of the 2250 was the weakest performer in the test.
