Whilst Professor Dr. F Porsche was working to design a peoples car in
1930s Germany, work was simultaneously being done to design a peoples
tractor for industrial and farm use. The design hallmark of these
tractors was a hydraulic coupling between engine and transmission
allowing for smoother shifting. A trio of gasoline prototypes was
produced in 1934, but Porsches post-war tractors were all powered by
air-cooled diesel engines. Porsche built four models of tractor, from
the 14-bhp Junior to the 55-bhp Super. This interesting new release from Revell promises to be popular as there is such a shortage of plastic farm machinery model kits. We will post more details as we have them.
