If the VW T1 was the most successful small transporter of the 1950s and 1960s in West Germany, this position was held in the GermanDemocratic Republic from 1961 by the Barkas B1000. Announced as a „Schnelltransporter“(quick transporter), the Barkas B1000 wasproduced in the period 1961–1990 in the VEB Barkas-Werke in Karl-Marx-Stadt, now Chemnitz. As a box van, it now appears to a scale of1:43 as a „Schwalbe Customer Service“vehicle with a Schwalbe KR51 as its dashing load. The 1:43 model of this flatbed truck is areplica of a customer service vehicle for the ‘Schwalbe’ moped, which was manufactured by the East German company Simson. It comeswith a Schwalbe KR51 moped and a Simson technician.

With significantly more than 31,000 manufactured examples, the Case 633 was a real best-seller in the Case tractor product range in the 1970s and 1980s, and the Case IH tractor product range from 1984 onwards. Case took over the agricultural machinery product range of International Harvester (IH) in 1984 and subsequently traded as Case-IH. The 633 model was available with rear wheel drive and 4-wheel drive, and belonged to the so-called Case IH A-range. Its 3 litre 3-cylinder engine provided 52 BHP and made it possible for this standard tractor to travel at speeds of 25 or 30 km/h. Schuco presents the CASE International 633 as a high-quality metal miniature in the popular 1:32 scale. The Schuco Edition 1:32 is highly impressive due to its very detailed and precise finish. The tractor has functioning steering and is without doubt a must-have in every tractor collection.
From 1963 to 1983, the „Chelyabinskiy Traktornyy Zavod“, the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant, produced, believe it or not, over 410,000 T-100 track laying tractors. Rather more powerful than its S-100 predecessor model with 108 hp, the T-100 was used both in the agricultural collectives of the Eastern bloc and very often as a bulldozer. In the course of its 20-year production life, this track layer underwent a process of continuous development. Thus, from 1973, more and more technical components of its larger successor, the T-130, were incorporated to apply the part-sharing principle and thus make production more efficient and cost-effective. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this T-100 to a scale of 1:32 in the PRO R line. This line, consisting of resin as the material, stands for exceptional and highly filigree small series models. By means of this highgrade model material, it is possible to produce very rare and exotic exemplary vehicles in perfect quality and also in low and exclusive production runs.
In countries of the former Eastern bloc, the T-150 K is still a widespread tractor the development of which was started at the end of the 1960s. With its engine layout and, above all, the typical articulated steering, it is very similar to the larger and more powerful Kirovets K-700. The T-150 K was produced in the Kharkiv Tractor Plant, which, when production started in 1972, still belonged to the Soviet Union and now belongs to Ukraine. Very reliable because of its extremely robust design, from the mid-70s, this tractor was also imported in large quantities to the former GDR. Thus it was that, in 1988, over 2,500 of the T-150 K were to be found in the inventory of the agricultural production collectives of the GDR. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this Charkow T-150 K to a scale of 1:32 in the PRO R line. This line, consisting of resin as the material, stands for exceptional and highly filigree small series models. By means of this highgrade model material, it is possible to produce very rare and exotic exemplary vehicles in perfect quality and also in low and exclusive production runs.
Just 35,500 examples of the Deutz D40 tractor, which was developed and manufactured in the Deutz factories in Cologne-Deutz, were produced during its entire production period between 1957 and 1963. The D40 was the first Deutz tractor with a newly developed and extremely economical three-cylinder engine. The D40, which was produced using a frameless block construction method, belonged to the Deutz D model series, and had output of 35 BHP with a capacity of 2550 ccm. Schuco presents the die-cast Deutz D40 L in 1:43 scale. As is expected of Schuco models, a number of key features have been reproduced exactly with the greatest attention to detail.
From 1982, the Deutz DX 250 was built by Klöckner-Humbold-Deutz (KHD) primarily for export. This large tractor was the successor to the Deutz DX 230. When the DX 250 was developed in Cologne-Deutz, the company had a particular eye on the American market because it seemed to be there that the market for tractors beyond the 200 hp threshold was greatest. However, the desired sales numbers were never reached, so the production of the DX 250 was stopped as early as 1984. The engine used was the 220-hp Deutz BF6L 413 FR with 6 cylinders and a displacement of 9572 cc. The top speed of the DX 250, weighing in at 9250 kg unladen, was about 30 km/h (19 mph). Schuco presents the Deutz DX 250 tractor as a high-quality metal miniature in the popular 1:32 scale. The Schuco Edition 1:32 is highly impressive due to its very detailed and precise finish. The tractor has functioning steering and is without doubt a must-have in every tractor collection.
The „Universal tractor for large agricultural and forestry businesses“. This is how Deutz advertised for the Deutz F4L 514 in Cologne-Deutz from 1952 onwards. With its 5322 ccm, air-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine and output of 47.5 PS, the Deutz F4L 514 was also the most powerful model that Deutz had to offer in its range of tractors until the mid-1950s. During its entire construction period from 1952 to 1965, more than 7800 examples of the F4L 514 were produced in Cologne-Deutz and delivered to satisfied customers. Schuco is going to produce a miniature model of this Deutz F4 L 514 to a scale of 1:87. Edition 1:87 models come with a metal body and chassis. As is expected of Schuco models, a number of key features have been reproduced exactly with the greatest attention to detail. These models are the perfect choice for model railways enthusiasts, diorama makers and die-hard model collectors.
Until the mid-1930s, agricultural tractors were only to be found on larger farms. This circumstance changed significantly when theDeutz company, based in the Cologne suburb of Deutz, introduced the Deutz F1 M414. The Deutz, commonly known as the “farmer’stractor”, thus played a major role in the motorisation of small and medium-sized farm businesses. At the same time, it increasinglytook over from horses. With an initial purchase price of only 2,300 Reichsmarks, the F1 M414 was considered very cheap. It’swater-cooled Deutz 11 HP diesel engine, type F1M414, lent its name to the type designation at the same time. Its transmission had 3forward gears and one reverse gear. In addition a belt pulley, a PTO shaft, a mower drive and pneumatic tyres were among its features. The Deutz was very popular with farmers, as the sales figures also reflect. Up until 1942, approx. 10,000 units had been sold, making it the most successful German tractor before World War II. After the war, production resumed in the almost completely destroyed Deutz factory. In the beginning, tractors were assembled simply out of spare parts that had survived the war. Later, the F1M414 received afourth forward gear, a foot brake and a foot throttle. After 1950, its power output increased from 11 to 12 HP. From 1945 up until1951, approx. 9,000 units were produced, meaning that 19,000 Deutz F1 M414 units were built altogether
Always at the ready, extremely wear-resistant and highly economical. These were the attributes with which Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz AG publicised the 50-hp, type Deutz F3 M417 universal tractor in Cologne-Deutz. Also known as the „Deutz steel tractor“, the F3 was built between 1942 and 1953 as a versatile, universal and road tractor. This all-rounder was supplied as standard with a belt pulley and a power take off shaft. Its simple and robust construction made the F3 M417 very durable and technically reliable, it continued almost unchanged in production from the end of the War and was still in use as a road tractor until the end of the 70s. Schuco presents the Deutz F3 tractor with hay trailer as a high-quality metal miniature in the popular 1:32 scale. The Schuco Edition 1:32 is highly impressive due to its very detailed and precise finish. The tractor has functioning steering and is without doubt a must-have in every tractor collection.

Built by Deutz between 1986 and 1991, the Deutz IN-trac 6.60 Turbo was based on the Deutz DX 6.50. Featuring a 150 hp, 6.1 litre6-cylinder diesel direct injection engine with an exhaust gas turbocharger, the Intrac 6.60 Turbo was the most powerful model inDeutz-Fahr’s second generation of Intrac vehicles. The BF6L 913 type engine and the transmission were developed in-house by Deutz.With an unladen weight of 6300 kg and a maximum permissible gross laden weight of 10 tonnes, the heavy tractor is now a regular on the tractor youngtimer scene.
Founded in 1965 in the town of Velbert, Doppstadt is a German machinery manufacturer. In order to expand into new sectors, in 1999 the group established a new company called Doppstadt GmbH Schönebeck on the premises of the Schönebeck tractor factory. From 1999 to2006, Schönebeck manufactured tractors with 75–205 hp engines. Unfortunately, sales did not meet the company’s targets and productionwas discontinued in 2006. This 1:32 resin model is a replica of the the Doppstadt Trac 200, which featured a Daimler Chrysler6-cylinder turbo engine with a 6.4 litre capacity. The model number “Trac 200” indicated its 200 hp engine.
The Dutra D4K B was a heavy tractor with all-wheel drive, produced in the Hungarian „Red Star“ tractor factory. With its 90-hp, 6-cylinder diesel engine, with a displacement of almost 8 litres, the Dutra was rather top-heavy and particularly well suited to working heavy ground. With production starting in 1964, the D4K B very quickly displaced the very loud and uncomfortable track-laying tractor in the GDR. The agricultural collectives of the GDR could only obtain its successor as a heavy tractor, the Kirovets K-700 if, in return, they provided proof that a D4K had been scrapped. For this reason, almost all Dutra D4Ks in the GDR were scrapped, and any surviving examples are among the great attractions of any tractor meeting. Schuco is going to produce a miniature model of this legendary Dutra D4K B to a scale of 1:43 in the PRO R line. This line, consisting of resin as the material, stands for exceptional and highly filigree small series models. By means of this highgrade model material, it is possible to produce very rare and exotic exemplary vehicles in perfect quality and also in low and exclusive production runs.

One of the most popular producers of tractors for smaller farming businesses was Gebrüder Eicher (Eicher Brothers). In 1948, they presented the first tractor in the world to be equipped with an air-cooled diesel engine, making it very much simpler to deal with in every-day use - the Eicher ED 16. The extremely fine detail of the Schuco model depicts the Eicher ED16 II, which started production in 1953. Improvements over the ED I include higher engine power and a 5-speed gearbox. Schuco presents the die-cast Eicher ED 16 with cuttor bar in 1:43 scale. As is expected of Schuco models, a number of key features have been reproduced exactly with the greatest attention to detail.
Equipped with an air-cooled, 2-cylinder, 4-stroke, direct-injection diesel engine, the Eicher ED26 was one of the best sellers in the Eicher tractor range from 1956 to 1960. Already in 1951, Eicher had begun to produce farm machinery as well as tractors and the Eicher ED26 was advertised with the slogan that we still know today, „Für den Bauern ein sicheres Pfand: Schlepper und Geräte aus einer Hand“ (A safe bet for farmers; a single source for machines and tractors). Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this legendary Eicher ED26 to a scale of 1:43 in the PRO R line. This line, consisting of resin as the material, stands for exceptional and highly filigree small series models.

Because of disputes over brand name rights, the series of tractors presented in 1956 as Favorit RS14, from the VEB (Publicly-Owned Company) Schlepperwerk Nordhausen was renamed Famulus RS14 on the occasion of the Leipzig Industry Fair in 1958. The designation „Famulus“ was derived from the Latin with the meaning assistant, servant or labourer. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this legendary Eicher ED26 to a scale of 1:43 in the PRO R line.

The Fendt 211 Vario is the most powerful and compact standard tractor in the extensive range of Fendt tractors. Depending on the usage area, the Fendt 200 Vario provides the correct functions for all challenges in grassland, in Alpine areas, in agriculture, during transport, during maintenance work, in special cultures, during municipal work and also as a farm tractor. With its maximum output of 111 PS from its 3.3 litre 3-cylinder engine, it is perfect for any job. The Fendt 211 V Vario is a classic narrow gauge tractor which has been specially developed for use in vineyards with its compact width starting at 1.07 metres. The V in the type designation stands for the first letter of the English term for wine – Vine. Schuco presents the Fendt 211 Vario as a high-quality metal miniature in the popular 1:32 scale. The Schuco Edition 1:32 is highly impressive due to its very detailed and precise finish. The tractor has functioning steering and is without doubt a must-have in every tractor collection.
As early as 1930, Fendt presented its first tractor model, the Fendt Dieselross F9. The name Dieselross related to the workhorses still widely used at the time in farming but bit-by-bit being displaced by dieselpowered tractors. The Fendt Dieselross F20G on which our Schuco model is based was Fendt‘s mid-range model from 1951. Over 6,300 were built up to 1957 and had an upright, single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine with a displacement of 1.5 litres, delivering 20 hp through an 8-speed gearbox to the rear axle. This permitted speeds from 0.8 to 20 km/h (0.5 - 12.5 mph). Schuco presents the die-cast Fendt F20G Dieselross with cuttor bar in 1:43 scale. As is expected of Schuco models, a number of key features have been reproduced exactly with the greatest attention to detail.
Fendt presented the Favorit 622 LS large tractor with 211 BHP in the autumn of 1980. The designation LS stands for “Luxury Standard”. The 622 LS generates its 211 BHP with a water-cooled, 11.4 litre 6-cylinder diesel engine. Since the LS 633 is identical to its big brother the Favorit LS 626 apart from the lack of an exhaust turbocharger, four of the original nineteen 622 models which were built were converted to the 252 BHP Favorit 626 LS in the factory. The final Fendt Favorit 622 LS was built at Fendt in May 1982. Schuco is going to produce a miniature model of this Fendt Favorit 622 LS to a scale of 1:87. Edition 1:87 models come with a metal body and chassis. As is expected of Schuco models, a number of key features have been reproduced exactly with the greatest attention to detail. These models are the perfect choice for model railways enthusiasts, diorama makers and die-hard model collectors.
In the 1960s, Fortschritt became East Germany’s largest manufacturer of agricultural equipment. From 1978, Fortschritt merged with anumber of state-owned enterprises specializing in the production of agricultural and food machines. One such state-owned enterprisewas the ErnstGrube motor vehicle plant in Werdau. The Fortschritt HW 80 – a 2-sided tipping trailer – was one of the most famousmodels produced in the Werdau factory. The trailer was specifically designed for agricultural use and is still in use on many farmstoday. It has a permissible payload of 8550 kg. Side extensions are often used to achieve the maximum load volume of 11 cubic metres.The contents of the Fortschritt HW80’s trailer can be unloaded hydraulically by the towing vehicle. The tipping side must be selectedusing a plug on the trailer. The maximum tipping angle is 50°, which ensures that the contents can be fully unloaded. The trailer canbe fitted with a chaff container to transport goods with a very low density.
The model RS09 Fortschritt equipment carrier was the most important working device by far in the LPG’s (agricultural collectives) and the VEG’s (nationally owned properties) in the former German Democratic Republic. This even went so far that even the architecture of the stable building in the GDR was adapted to the gauge, height and turning circle of this device. The RS09 (RS = wheeled tractor) tractor and equipment carrier was introduced in 1955, was also known under the product name of GT124 Maulwurf (Maulwurf = mole / GT = Carrier). Because of the large quantity that was produced, the “Mole” was one of the best-selling tractors in the DDR and the entire eastern block. Schuco presents the Fortschritt RS09-GT124 pick-up as a high-quality metal miniature in the popular 1:32 scale. The Schuco Edition 1:32 is highly impressive due to its very detailed and precise finish. The tractor has functioning steering and is without doubt a must-have in every tractor collection.

At the end of the 70s a start had already been made in the Fortschritt Landmaschinen collective combine on plans for the successor to the very successful ZT 300 series. Because of the outst5anding basis represented by the ZT 303 and ZT 323 models, the 320 series was not to be a purely new development but rather an extensive and well thought-out upgrade of the existing models. Given that, when presented, the basic model of the new series, the ZT 320, was already technically out-of-date because it lacked all-wheel drive, the publicly owned company Traktorenwerk Schönebeck very quickly concentrated on production of the ZT 323. As a part of the upgrade, this was, in terms of fuel consumption, significantly more efficient than the ZT 303 and thus able to build on the sales success of the latter. Schuco presents the Fortschritt ZT 323 tractor as a high-quality metal miniature in the popular 1:32 scale. The Schuco Edition 1:32 is highly impressive due to its very detailed and precise finish. The tractor has functioning steering and is without doubt a must-have in every tractor collection.
Fuchs was founded by the blacksmith Johannes Fuchs in 1888 To begin with, the company specialized in the production of agriculturalmachines and barn equipment. After the end of the Second World War, Fuchs started to manufacture excavators and cranes at its factoryin Ditzingen in response to the huge demand for such machines created by postwar reconstruction efforts. Over 15,000 Fuchs Bagger 301vehicles were produced following the start of production in 1957. Today, the company belongs to the American TEREX group. Thisintricately detailed Schuco metal model of the Fuchs Bagger 301 features a lattice boom as well as an interchangeable scrap grappleand wrecking ball.

For its owners and numerous fans and enthusiasts, the Hürlimann from Switzerland is the Rolls-Royce of vintage tractors. Founded in1929 in Will in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen, Hürlimann tractors soon earned a reputation for exceptional workmanship and maximumreliability. This was ensured by the extremely high level of in-house production of the individual vehicle components. In 1939,Hürlimann engineers launched the first diesel engine with direct injection – a world first at the time. The Swiss company has beenpart of SAME Lamborghini-Hürlimann since September 1975 and part of the SAME Deutz-Fahr Group since 1995.
In the middle of 1948, a new tractor factory was built on the site of the disassembled Brennabor AG plant in Brandenburg an der Havel. Production started in 1949 with the IFA RS 03/30 Aktivist – a 30 hp standard tractor with a frameless block design. A total of 3761tractors in this Aktivist series were produced between 1949 and 1952. One of the most striking features of the RS/03 Aktivist was itsunusually high design and its unconventional 2-cylinder V-type engine, whose cylinder heads protruded from the left and right sidesunder the bonnet. It was based on a wood gas tractor from Ohrenstein & Koppel, which was developed at the end of the 1930s. Itssuccessor – the IFA RS04/30 – was produced from 1954 and was East Germany’s first tractor that was not based on a pre-war model.
In 1949, the first agricultural tractor to be built in the former East Germany, the Pionier RS01, was presented at the Leipzig Trade Fair. Manufactured from 1949 to 1956, the RS01 was first produced by VEB HORCH Zwickau and later by VEB Schlepperwerk Nordhausen, which had been specially set up for the construction of tractors. The technology of the Pionier RS-01 was largely based on a pre-war tractor developed by the FAMO automobile and engine works in Breslau, where the first vehicles were made in the 1930s under the brand name FAMO XL. The RS-01 Pionier was powered by a 5-litre four-cylinder diesel engine with recirculating water cooling. The Pionier was replaced in 1957 by its successor, the RS-01 Harz with various enhanced technical features. Schuco is going to produce a miniature model of this IFA RS-01 Pionier to a scale of 1:32 in the PRO R line. This line, consisting of resin as the material, stands for exceptional and highly filigree small series models. By means of this highgrade model material, it is possible to produce very rare and exotic exemplary vehicles in perfect quality and also in low and exclusive production runs.
The International 1255 is another cult youngtimer on the tractor scene. Launched in 1979, just over 1400 vehicles in this series wereproduced before production was discontinued in 1992. Its IH 6-cylinder four-stroke engine has a capacity of 5.9 litres that delivers a continuous output of 125 hp. It also features a direct fuel injection system and a turbocharger. Weighing 5550 kilograms, the 1255has maximum permissible gross laden weight of 7 tonnes. From 1983, only export versions were produced without a cabin. The intricately detailed 1:32 Schuco model is a replica of the 1979 to 1983 version of the International 1255.
Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, International Harvester (IH) was founded in 1902 following the merger of McCormick HarvestingMachine Company, Deering Harvester Company, Plano Harvester Co., Milwaukee Harveste Co. and Warder, Bushnell & Glessner Co. In 1908 aGerman subsidiary was founded in Neuss, which initially only sold US-imported products from International Harvester. In 1911 theNeuss-based company started to produce its first agricultural machines, followed by tractors in 1937. The International 4166 Turbo was a heavy four-wheel drive articulated tractor, which was produced between 1972 and 1976 in the US. Its 7145 ccm 6-cylinder turboengine provided 178 hp, which made the 6300 kg tractor a powerful workhorse for its time.
When it was introduced in 1975 by IHC (International Harvester Company), the IHC 433 was the smallest model in the so-called IHC-A model series. Power-wise the tractor is the successor to the IHC 383. After IHC was taken over by Case, the IHC 433 was known as the Case IH 433 with a different colour scheme from 1985 onwards. The 433 model was built in the factories in Neuss and St. Dizier (France), like its predecessor. When production was discontinued in Neuss in the spring of 1990, production of model 433 continued in Doncaster (England) until March 1993, whereby the model designation changed to Case-IH 440. Schuco presents the International 433 with safety bar as a high-quality metal miniature in the popular 1:32 scale. The Schuco Edition 1:32 is highly impressive due to its very detailed and precise finish. The tractor has functioning steering and is without doubt a must-have in every tractor collection.

The John Deere 1270G-series harvester is represented by two different forestry machine models in the Schuco 1:32 Edition – the John Deere 1270G 6-wheel and the 1270G 8-wheel versions. Both harvesters are characterised by exceptional efficiency, versatility and extremely high productivity. Both the 6-wheel and 8-wheel harvesters are powered by a John Deere PowerTech Plus diesel engine – a 6-cylinder, 9-litre turbocharged unit that produces a massive 1,315 Nm of torque.
Founded in 1837 by the farrier, John Deere, in the US state of Illinois, Deere & Company, with its leading brand „John Deere“, istoday the world leader in the field of agricultural technology. Shortly after the end of the 1st World War, Deere & Company startedproduction of the first tractor models. During the world economic crisis, from 1931 to 1933, the company did not insist on repaymentsdue from insolvent farmers. This generosity was later rewarded with many new customers and long-lasting customer loyalty. The JohnDeere 4850 on which our Schuco model is based was, from 1983 to 1988, a part of John Deere‘s 50 series. Driven by a 7630-cm3,6-cylinder diesel engine, the 4850 delivered a maximum torque of 875 Nm.
Produced from 1989 to 1992, the John Deere 4955 was John Deere’s top-of-the-range 55-series model. The 4955 belonged to the wide-frame range of models, which differed only in terms of their engine output. Featuring a 7634 cm3 in-line 6-cylinder engine, the John Deere4955 could deliver 230 hp. It weighed 8332 kilograms and had an impressive maximum permissible gross laden weight of 12 tonnes.
Featuring a 100 hp engine, the John Deere 6400 was the most powerful model in the hugely popular John Deere 6000 series from the1990s. However, the bestselling model in the series was the John Deere 6300, which had a 3920 cm3 4-cylinder diesel engine with anoutput of 90 hp. Built between 1992 and 1997, the 6300 had an unladen weight of 3750 kg and maximum permission gross laden weight of7500 kg. The 1:32 edition Schuco metal model features an additional moveable front loader.
The John Deere 7610 is a 140 hp standard tractor from the John Deere 7010 range. It was built between 1997 and 2002. Optically, itlooked very similar to its predecessor. However, John Deere’s engineers invested a significant amount of time in technical upgrades to the new range. The John Deere 7610’s 6.8 litre, 6-cylinder in-line engine could deliver 140 hp at a rated speed of 2100 rpm. It hadan unladen weight of 6193 kg and maximum permissible gross laden weight of 11,500 kg.
Founded in the 19th century, Heinrich Lanz AG in Mannheim very quickly developed into one of Germany‘s leading agricultural machinery manufacturers. The Mannheim company started to manufacture farm tractors in the 1920s, and therefore played an important part in the motorisation of German agriculture. Farm tractors with a single-cylinder glow-plug engine were produced with great success under the name of Lanz Bulldog. These tractors made such an impression that the name Bulldog became widely used in Germany as a colloquial expression for farm tractors in general. The Lanz Bulldog was also produced in several different countries under license. It was produced as the Ursus in Poland, the Le Percheron in France, the Pampa T01 in Argentina and as the KL Bulldog by Kelly & Lewis Ltd. in Australia. Schuco presents the die-cast K.L. Bulldog in 1:43 scale. As is expected of Schuco models, a number of key features have been reproduced exactly with the greatest attention to detail.
Its dimensions alone make the Kirovets K-700 all,wheel drive tractor something special at every tractor meeting and, of course, in every tractor collection. Developed from the end of the 50s by the Russian manufacturer, Kirovets, the first prototype of the K-700 left the factory gates in Leningrad in July 1962. Between 1962 and 1975, well over 100,000 K-700s were produced. With an 8-cylinder diesel engine, developing 215 hp, sand centre-pivot steering, from 1968, the numbers exported to the GDR were also not insignificant. Known for its extreme reliability and very efficient, especially on large agricultural areas, using a K-700 could triple productivity compared with the Fortschritt ZT 300. However, to be able to make the best, economical use of a Kirovets K-700 in the state-controlled agriculture of the GDR, separate fields had to be joined up to form large acreages. It was also calculated that a K-700 had to be worked for at least 1400 hours per year to be profitable. Since this was impossible with single-shift working, a two-shift system was introduced for agricultural production collectives equipped with the K-700. Schuco is going to produce a miniature model of this Kirovets K700 to a scale of 1:87. Edition 1:87 models come with a metal body and chassis. As is expected of Schuco models, a number of key features have been reproduced exactly with the greatest attention to detail. These models are the perfect choice for model railways enthusiasts, diorama makers and die-hard model collectors.

"The Italian firm Lamborghini Trattori was founded in 1948 by Ferruccio Lamborghini,the subsequent founder of Lamborghini Automobiliin Pieve di Cento in northern Italy. Following his decision to concentrate on exclusive sports cars at the beginning of the 1970s,Lamborghini Trattori S.p.A. was acquired by SAME in 1973, which incorporated a number of new technologies into its product range. This included tracked vehicles and a fully synchronised transmission for tractors pioneered by Lamborghini Trattori. The acquisitionculminated in the launch of the Lamborghini 1056 – 1556 series of tractors in 1981, which featured technology based on the Hercules160. The five tractor models in this series were powered by six-cylinder engines. The Lamborghini 1556 was the top-of-the-range modeland featured a turbocharger. The five Lamborghinitractors had a horsepower of 105 hp to 155 hp. The transmission was equipped with 12 forwards and 3 reverse gears."
Before Italian mechanical engineer Ferrucio Lamborghini started to produce legendary sports cars such as the Lamborghini Miura, the Espada and the Countach in the 1960s, Lamborghini Trattori, the company that he established in 1948, was one of the leading Italian manufacturers of agricultural vehicles. The Lamborghini Trattori 2241 R with its 18 BHP two-cylinder engine which was produced in 1960 was one of the smaller tractors in the comprehensive Lamborghini range. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this legendary Lamborghini Trattori 2241 R to a scale of 1:43 in the PRO R line. This line, consisting of resin as the material, stands for exceptional and highly filigree small series models. By means of this highgrade model material, it is possible to produce very rare and exotic exemplary vehicles in perfect quality and also in low and exclusive production runs.
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. The Lanz tractor can be hitched to the newly developed, wooden, ladder-sided cart or the Dechentreiter threshing machine. Both make a fine piece of agricultural history in miniature.

Throughout the Lanz-Bulldog-era, a wide range of tractor series were developed under model names such as „Ackerluft-Bulldog“, „Verkehrsbulldog“ or the fast model for road use, the „Eilbulldog“ (Hurry Bulldog). Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 1.000 pieces a miniature model of this Lanz Bulldog to a scale of 1:18. Just like the other models of the Schuco Edition 1:18, the Bulldog comes with many lovingly crafted details.
The L 1000 Express delivery vehicle was introduced to the public in 1929 on the basis of the chassis of the Mercedes-Benz „StuttgartType“ passenger vehicle. A 50 BHP sixcylinder engine gave the L 1000 a top speed of 65 km/h. Because of its extraordinary reliabilityand its robustness, large quantities of the vehicle were also purchased by the German Reichspost. With a payload of 1000 kilograms and the advertising area associated with the large-area box-type superstructure, the Mercedes-Benz L 1000 was used by many companies as a transport vehicle and advertisement on wheels in the 1930s and 1940s.
As of the Carrera Panamericana in 1952, Mercedes-Benz started to take part again in international racing events. In 1954, theStuttgart-based company then re-entered the Grand Prix circus and was successful at its very first start at the French Grand Prix with a one-two victory by Juan Manuel Fangio and Karl Kling. In order to be able to transport the W196 and 300 SLR racing cars to therespective race tracks — along with the Mercedes-Benz racing division’s huge amount of equipment — a large racing division fleet wasmaintained. One of these special vehicles was the Mercedes-Benz O3500 on the basis of the O3500 omnibus, on which our Schuco model, at a scale of 1:43, is derived. No less than three examples of this vehicle belonged to the racing division.
In the early days of motor sport, from the beginning of the 20th century to well into the 1930’s, the majority of souped-up racingcars were still transported on their own four wheels from the factories to the famous racetracks of Le Mans, Monza, the Nürburgring or the infamous Targa Florio in Sicily. As the sport began to become professionalised, from about the middle of the 1930’s, thedevelopment of special transport vehicles, the so-called racing transporters, began. In the mid-1960’s, Porsche too had two transportvehicles based on the Mercedes-Benz O317 bus chassis built specifically for the needs of its racing division. The two racingtransporters were used by the Porsche racing division until the 1980’s and, over the years, were also adapted several times to thedesign of the corresponding major sponsor. Due to their really quite box-like design, the Porsche racing transporters were soonsomewhat mockingly called “furniture vans”. The white painted transporter of the MARTINI Porsche racing team on which our finelydetailed Schuco model is based was used from the mid-seventies onwards and replaced its silvercoloured MARTINI Racing predecessor.
Once Daimler-Benz had re-established itself in the booming medium and heavy truck market that followed the War, Daimler considered becoming active in the fast-growing transporter segment. The result of their efforts was the Mercedes-Benz L319, presented in 1955 at the IAA. Up to 1967, about 120,000 L319s were produced in a wide variety of variants. These included promotion vehicles, the load surface of which could be used as a mobile display window. The Schuco L319 promotion truck „NSU Max“ , to a scale of 1:43, represents one of these vehicles.
In the 1930s, the Mercedes-Benz Lo2750 was the medium-weight series in the Mercedes-Benz truck range. After Mercedes-Benz started, in 1934, to compete in grand-prix racing with its newly designed Silver Arrows, transport vehicles and workshop trucks were needed to make it relatively easy to reach the European race circuits like Monza, Donington Park, Monaco or the Nürburgring. Painted in the typical blue of the Mercedes-Benz Racing Department, the factory operated a whole fleet of lorries that toured from race to race. As well as flat-bed trucks transporting the Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrows types W25, W125, W154 and W165, well hidden under their pale coloured tarpaulins, the Racing Department had two workshop trucks in which any repairs and technical work required at the track could be carried out. The various racing transporters of the Mercedes-Benz Racing Department have now become an abiding part of motor racing history and Schuco dedicates high-quality and painstakingly detailed models to a scale of 1:43 to the two representatives of the 1930s.
To counter the fall in sales of the Mercedes-Benz Unimog in the agricultural market in the mid-60s, Daimler-Benz decided, in 1967, to develop its own range of tractors on the basis of existing Unimog component units. The result of these efforts was the MB Trac 65/70, presented in 1972, where the 65/70 designation stood for 65 DIN or 70 SAE-hp. Produced until 1991, the MB Trac 1800 Intercooler represented the absolute flagship of the range. 190 of this 180-hp vehicle, equipped with a 6-litre, six-cylinder diesel engine, were produced in the Unimog factory in Gaggenau. Schuco is going to produce a miniature model of this MB Trac 1800 to a scale of 1:87. Edition 1:87 models come with a metal body and chassis. As is expected of Schuco models, a number of key features have been reproduced exactly with the greatest attention to detail. These models are the perfect choice for model railways enthusiasts, diorama makers and die-hard model collectors.
Originally developed as an „Universal-Motor-Gerät“, the Unimog was, to begin with, intended and conceived exclusively for use in agriculture. Mass produced from 1949, this true jack of all trades was very quickly adopted in agriculture, forestry, in the military field and, in large measure, for local authority tasks. Initially produced at Boehringer GmbH in Göppingen, production was transferred to Gaggenau in 1951. Since 2002, the Unimog range has been manufactured in the Daimler-Benz utility vehicle factory in Wörth. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this Mercedes-Benz Unimog 401 with wooden platform to a scale of 1:32 in the PRO R line. This line, consisting of resin as the material, stands for exceptional and highly filigree small series models. By means of this highgrade model material, it is possible to produce very rare and exotic exemplary vehicles in perfect quality and also in low and exclusive production runs.
When one talks nowadays about legendary cars such as the VW Beetle, classic Mini, VW Bulli or Porsche 911, any such list should always include the Unimog from Mercedes-Benz. Within Unimog‘s long history, the Mercedes-Benz U 406 represents the classical Unimog for many fans. Schuco is going to produce a miniature model of this Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 to a scale of 1:64. Edition 1:64 models come with a metal body and chassis. In addition to the prototypical wheel rims, the Schuco 1:64 models stand out due to the many lovingly detailed components.

They were all-rounders in the general cargo traffic of the Deutsche Bundesbahn. The L322, better known as the Mercedes-Benz short-hood vehicle, the Unimog 406 and the Hanomag Kurier. These three vehicles now appear in the Schuco 1:87 edition 1:87 as an MHI limitededition in an attractive set of 3.
"Following the huge success of the 1.5 tonne Opel Blitz truck in the 1930s, in 1952 Opel launched a 1.75 tonne model to replace itspre-war predecessor. With its American-inspired design, the Opel Blitz was a true trendsetter in the history of German post-wartrucks. Its 2.5 litre, 6-cylinder 58 hp engine helped the Blitz to reach a maximum speed of almost 100 kilometres per hour. Thanks toits sophisticated and extremely reliable design, the Blitz 1.75 T was used by the DeutscheBundespost (German Federal Post Office),government authorities and the private sector, as well as the Porsche racing service. Almost 90,000 vehicles of this series were soldbetween 1952 and 1960."
Rotkäppchen Sekt is Germany’s most popular brand of Sekt (sparkling wine). Founded in 1894, it has become one of Germany’s mostwell-known brands. In the 1930s the Sekt producer manufactory Kloss & Foerster owned an extensive fleet of delivery vehicles. Onetypical vehicle from this era was the Phänomen Granit 25, which is now available as part of the Schuco 1:43 range. This 1.5 tonnevehicle featured the typical Phänomen air-cooled engine and was used extensively by the Reichspost. The model has numerous elaboratedetails and is available in a limited edition of 500 copies. Warning! Not suitable for children under 14 years.
