Founded in the 19th century, Heinrich Lanz AG in Mannheim very quickly
developed into one of Germany‘s leading agricultural machinery
manufacturers. From the 1920s, the Mannheim company went into the
production
of farm tractors and thus played a significant part in
the motorisation of German agriculture. Under the name of Lanz Bulldog,
farm
tractors with a single-cylinder, glow-plug engine were
produced with great success. These tractors made such an impression that
the name Bulldog became widely used in Germany as a
colloquial expression for farm tractors in general. During the 30s, Lanz
achieved
a market share of 50% in Germany and more than half
its production was exported. The very finely detailed Schuco model to a
scale
of 1:32 depicts a Lanz Bulldog D 9506, one of Lanz‘ most
successful models. Almost unchanged from 1936 to 1955, it was produced
with a single-cylinder engine, legendary for its displacement
of just over 10 litres and delivering 45 hp.
