Ferdinand Porsche<\/a> used his technical and creative potential not only for the development of racers <\/a>and cars, but also applied it to the expedient motorisation of agriculture<\/a>. From 1938 onward, he developed numerous tractors<\/a> and haulers and came up with technical innovations.<\/p>\n

His carmine-red hauler series with the type designations of Porsche-Diesel Junior, Standard, Super and Master beamed on the tractor market from 1956. A Porsche-Diesel Narrow Gauge Standard T 217 S<\/strong> from 1961 can be viewed at the current Oldtimer Exhibition at the Ferdinand Porsche Erlebniswelten fahr(T)raum. It was manufactured specifically for French fruit and winegrowing enterprises\/operations. The import and export company Goetzmann from Strasbourg held the exclusive rights to the tractor.<\/p>\n

The Porsche-Diesel Standard T 217 S was 20 HP strong, drove up to 30 km\/h and had an air-cooled two-cylinder engine. The triple-mounted crankshaft, the radial cooling fan as well as the oil bath air cleaner were special features of the engine. The tractor was also characterised by a low-lying camshaft propelled by a gear wheel and a rotation speed adjustment pedal, which could be operated by foot.<\/p>\n

The front portal axle was turned by 180 degrees, moved back and placed at an angle for the manoeuvrability of the hauler and for works on slopes. This shortened the wheelbase and lowered the centre of gravity. Auxiliary equipment could be docked onto the tractor with the standard 3-point hydraulic with external pressure supply. However, special care had to be taken when driving narrow-gauge tractors as they tipped over easily due to centrifugal and impact forces. By 1963, a total of 120,000 Porsche-Diesel tractors were built and sold successfully. Nonetheless, Porsche discontinued the construction of the tractor due to high competition in 1963.<\/p>\n

At the \u00bbTraktor-Stadl<\/a>\u00ab of the Oldtimer-Museum fahr(T)raum in Mattsee<\/a> near Salzburg, you can not only see Porsche-Diesel tractors but also Allgaier models and vehicles of the Oldtimer-, Tractor and Agricultural Machinery Club Mattsee.<\/p>\n

Ferdinand Porsche developed the single-axle power horse – the so-called “Daimler Pferd” (German for horse) or “officially” the Austro-Daimler KP II – in the latter years of the First World War. It served as the driving axle in the front end and served as a replacement for the horses, which had already become rare at […]<\/p>\n

Ferdinand Porsche not only designed sports cars, he also played a significant role in the mechanisation of agriculture. This included the development of the “Volksschlepper” (\u201cPeople\u00b4s Tractor\u201d) from 1944 and its further developments resulting in the universally applicable AP-17 (“System Porsche”) tractor built by the Allgaier company. Particularly memorable is the bright orange P 312 […]<\/p>\n

From the “Daimler horse” to the “System Porsche” diesel tractor As a “universal technical genius”, Ferdinand Porsche addressed not only the development of sports cars, but all mechanical constructions for locomotion. Thus, he also played a major role in the motorisation of agriculture. Porsche developed the so-called “Daimler horse” for Austro-Daimler right after the beginning […]<\/p>\n
