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.

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 altogethe
With the 9 Series, DEUTZ-FAHR engineers have developed an ultra-modern, highly intelligent tractor. Thanks to its uniquely intuitiveoperating system, automated routine functions and highly innovative technologies, it increases work efficiency while consuming minimal resources. Sporting a highly efficient 312 hp engine, continuously variable TTV transmission for precise speeds of 0.2 to 60 km/h atreduced engine speed and a wide range of innovative features, the Deutz-Fahr 9310 TTV Agroton is an ultra-modern and highly efficienttractor. Its modern design was developed in close collaboration with Italdesign Giugiaro and is reproduced in our intricately detailed 1:32 metal replica.
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.
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.
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.
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-Amodel 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 theCase 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 inDoncaster (England) until March 1993, whereby the model designation changed to Case-IH 440.
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.
Its dimensions alone make the Kirovets K-700 all,wheel drive tractor something special at every tractor meeting and, of course, inevery tractor collection. Developed from the end of the 50s by the Russian manufacturer, Kirovets, the first prototype of the K-700left the factory gates in Leningrad in July 1962. Between 1962 and 1975, well over 100,000 K-700s were produced. With an 8-cylinderdiesel 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 productivitycompared 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 beworked for at least 1400 hours per year to be profitable. Since this was impossible with single-shift working, a two-shift system wasintroduced for agricultural production collectives equipped with the K-700.
"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."
Founded in the 19th century, Heinrich Lanz AG in Mannheim very quickly developed into one of Germany‘s leading agricultural machinerymanufacturers. From the 1920s, the Mannheim company went into the production of farm tractors and thus played a significant part inthe motorisation of German agriculture. Under the name of Lanz Bulldog, farm tractors with a single-cylinder, glow-plug engine wereproduced with great success. These tractors made such an impression that the name Bulldog became widely used in Germany as acolloquial expression for farm tractors in general. During the 30s, Lanz achieved a market share of 50% in Germany and more than halfits 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 displacementof just over 10 litres and delivering 45 hp.
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.
"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."
SAME (Società Accomandita Motori Endotermici) was founded in 1942 by the brothers Francesco and Eugenio Cassani in the northernItalian town of Treviglio. Today, SAME belongs to the SDF Group, which also includes the well-known brands Deutz-Fahr, Lamborghini,Hürlimann and Grégoire. The Hercules 160 tractor was launched by SAME at the end of the 1970s. It featured a six-cylinder dieselengine with a turbo charger and a 6.2 litre capacity that could deliver 160 hp at 2200 rpm. The Hercules 160 was equipped with 12forward and 4 reverse gears and was available in a 25 km/h and 30 km/h version. It was produced from 1979 to 1983. SAME also designedan eyecatching gold version of the Hercules 160 for display purposes. Just one copy of this tractor was made, which makes it anexcellent candidate for Schuco’s range of limited edition small-series models.
The Schlüter engine plant was founded in 1898 by Anton Schlüter in the town on Freising near Munich. In order to join the increasingly lucrative market for agricultural tractors in the 1930s, Schlüter launched its first tractor in 1937 – the Schlüter DZM 25. From1964, the company focused exclusively on the production of large tractors, staying true to its slogan “As much power as you need”. The Schlüter Super 950 V was produced in Freising from 1967 as a successor to the 900 V. Equipped with a Schlüter 6-cylinder dieselengine with a 6.6 litre capacity and 95 hp, the Super 950 V was one of the largest tractors on the market at the time of its launch.252 of these Schlüter vehicles were produced between November 1967 and August 1974.
In 1956, the Austrian Armed Forces decided to purchase a small all-terrain vehicle, which was intended to be particularly suitable for use in moderately-heavy terrain and in mediumsize mountain regions. Furthermore, the vehicle should have a payload of at least 500kilograms and as low a dead weight as possible. Under the technical direction of chief engineer Dr Erich Ledwinka, Steyr-Puch in Grazbegan to develop this offroad vehicle, which later became famous as the “Haflinger”. During the production period of the “Haflinger”,from 1959 to 1974, a total of 16,647 units of this ultra off-road allrounder were produced at the Steyr-Puch plant in Graz. It’sremarkable that more than 13,000 Haflinger were delivered to exactly 110 different countries around the world. Schuco now presentsthis classic of vehicle history for the first time as a high-quality metal model in a scale of 1:18.
First produced in 1968, the Tatra 148 only really took over from its predecessor, the Tatra 138, in 1972, when its production wasstopped. The only externally evident difference was the slightly squarer design of the Tatra 148‘s typical rounded bonnet.Technically, the new model was fitted with a more powerful, 210-hp engine and the load capacity could be increased from 12 tonnes forthe Tatra 138 to 15 tonnes for the Tatra 148. Like its predecessor, the Tatra 148 was delivered almost exclusively as a three-axletruck with all-wheel drive. Until production was stopped in 1982, a total of 113,647 Tatra 148s in all versions were built, whichclearly demonstrates the technical quality and success of this Tatra model.
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 and is now being honoured with a finely detailed Schuco metal model in a collector’s scale of 1:18.
Based on the Volkswagen Beetle, the Beutler company, based in Thun in the Swiss canton of Berne, produced conversions of the highestquality and craftsmanship in the 1950’s. On the basis of the Beetle, Beutler developed, among others, estate car, van and pickup truck versions as an alternative to the slightly larger VW Bulli.
Under the motto „Race on Sunday - Sell on Monday“, numerous so-called „Club Races“ took place in the USA in the 1950s and enjoyedgreat popularity among those actively involved as well as spectators. In these races, motor-sportenthused private drivers were able to probe their driving skills and simultaneously push their mainly production-line sports cars to the limit, legally. The correspondingvehicle dealers also put on suitable transport vehicles in support of their customers‘ vehicles at race tracks like Laguna Seca, Eagle Mountain or Elkhart Lake. For example, Volkswagen and Porsche dealer „Continental Motors“ of Fort Lauderdale in Florida operated anelegant and remarkable vehicle-trailer combination, consisting of an original VW T1 tractor unit and the associated trailer. Thusvehicles such as the Porsche 550 Spyder or the Porsche 718 Spyder were able to be transported.

Since there was a sharp rise in the demand for flexible, multi-use transport vehicles in the early stages of the German economicmiracle, Volkswagen started production of the VW Type 2 in 1950. This all-rounder, which was affectionately known as the „VW Bulli“ by its many fans, developed into the outstanding workhorse of the economic upturn in the Germany of the 1950s.
Since the VW T1 Transporter was getting rather long in the tooth after 17 years in production, and increasing numbers of competitorswere trying to secure a place in the lucrative small transporter market, in August 1967 Volkswagen introduced the second generation of the VW Transporter, the T2. Compared to its predecessor the T1, the T2 was a complete and consistent new development. With the newlydeveloped 1.6 litre engine with a powerful 47 BHP, revised independent wheel suspension and a complicated semi-trailing arm doublesteering axle, the T2 had extraordinarily good handling, which was able to match the handling of contemporary cars without problems.With its „new face“ with a continuous windscreen, the Volkswagen T2 was able to seamlessly continue the VW Transporter success storythat began in 1950.
Volkswagen’s efforts to develop a successor to the extremely successful VW T2 Transporter series began in 1975, culminating in thelaunch of the VW T3 series in May 1979. Originally, the T3 specifications included a front engine with a front-wheel drive. However,due to the tight financial circumstances of the VW Group, the development of an all-new engine generation was abandoned and the T3 was equipped with an air-cooled rear engine like both of its predecessors.
A really great gift idea for all toy and car enthusiasts - the Schuco Piccolo assembly boxes. Packed in a smart and nostalgic gift box, one of the solid and iconic Schuco Piccolo models can be assembled in just a few minutes with a little practice. Since each of the small assembly boxes is a limited edition, the gift can also quickly become a real collector’s item.
If the VW T1 was the most successful small transporter of the 1950s and 1960s in West Germany, this position was held in the German Democratic Republic from 1961 by the Barkas B1000. Announced as a „Schnelltransporter“ (quick transporter), the Barkas B1000 was produced in the period 1961–1990 in the VEB Barkas-Werke in Karl-Marx-Stadt, now Chemnitz. As an open, flat-bed truck, it now appears to a scale of 1:43 as a „Schwalbe Customer Service“ vehicle with a Schwalbe KR51 as its dashing load.
Known in the German-speaking region as the MTS-50, the Russian MTZ-50 tractor was produced from 1961 to 1985. Also known as the Belarus MTS-50, it was produced over a period of 24 years in Minsk, Belarus, in the „Minski Traktornyy Zavod“, the Minsk Tractor Works, leading to the unbelievable total production for a tractor of 1.25 million, mostly delivered to other states in the Soviet Union. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this Belarus MTS-50 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.

After Bremen company Borgward resumed the production of passenger vehicles, transporters and trucks in Bremen with considerable success after the end of World War Two, in 1953 the Borgward development department started to think about the development and production of a Borgward tractor. After producing just three prototypes by 1955, the Bremen company decided not to continue with the Borgward tractor project because of the strong competition situation and the lack of a dealer and service network for the tractor business. The whereabouts of the three prototypes is currently unknown. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 1.000 pieces a miniature model of this legendary Borgward Tractor 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.
It‘s a real cult young-timer - the CASE IH 1455 XL. Produced in both Neuss and Doncaster, England from 1981 to 1996, the CASE IH 1455 XL gained a large and satisfied customer base. Equipped with a 6586-cc, six cylinder engine developing 146 hp, this tractor also represented the last model to be developed in-house by IH (International Harvester) before the company was taken over by CASE. The chief characteristic of the CASE IH 1455 XL is the reliable all-wheel drive. Among other advantages, this was certainly one of the main reason for the substantial sales figures, with an impressive 7,621 of the CASE IH 1455 XL sold during its 15 years in production. Schuco presents the CASE IH 1455 XL 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.
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.

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.
At the beginning of the 50s, after their competitors in the tractor market, Lanz and Hanomag, had already made an early start in the production of track-laying tractors, Deutz in Cologne also started development of a series of track-laying tractors. The first Deutz track-laying tractor was the Deutz DK 60, which went into mass production in 1953. Very advanced for its time, the Deutz four-cylinder, 4-stroke diesel engine delivered 60 hp and, compared to the competition, had clear advantages with regard to fuel consumption and, very important in agriculture, cold-start behaviour While the first track-laying tractors from Deutz were developed almost exclusively for agricultural use, from the early 60s, Deutz track-laying tractors were increasingly offered as purely construction machinery. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this Deutz 60 PS track-laying tractor 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.
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.

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.
