American Reacts to The Schleppertreffen - Germany "Tractors & Trucks"

[@werdscher0568]

it´s one of the biggest tractor/truck meetings in Germany (located near Leipzig, Saxony). Happening on the first weekend of july every two years. 13:30 the blue one is a IFA H6, built in the 50s in East Germany, the green one is a KrAZ (soviet production) 14:20 also KrAZ 14:50 Fortschritt ZT 323-A (built in the 80s), the small ones on the trailer were built by the owners, as 'homage' (or whatever you wanna call it) to the original (much bigger) ZT 300 from the 70s 15:40 Unimog 401 "Froschauge" ("frog eye") 17:08 Magirus truck from the 60s 18:04 Primus P20 (from 1942) - built solely for road transportation ("big brother" of the Primus P14 at 10:20) 18:20 Moskvich (soviet built) 19:00 Lanz 4016 from the 50s - it IS the John Deere color - JD took over Lanz in 1957 (or 56? i'm not sure) and painted their tractors green-yellow before stopping the production in 1958/59 or something 19:20 Pampa (license-built Lanz , built in Argentina) and if you do have any further questions (also the rest of the video or any other ones)...let me know. I'm extremely interested in old machinery, especially tractors :)

Heinrich Lanz AG in Mannheim was a German manufacturer of agricultural machinery. The majority of shares in the company, which was founded in 1859, were taken over by the US agricultural machinery manufacturer John Deere in 1956. The sales name "Bulldog" for the agricultural tractors manufactured by Lanz between 1921 and 1960 became a synonymous generic name for tractors from all manufacturers. Since 1967, John Deere has no longer used the "Lanz" brand for products from its German subsidiary, and in the same year the suffix was also removed from its company name. In 1956, after 200,000 Bulldogs had been built, Süddeutsche Bank, a predecessor of Deutsche Bank, sold its 51% majority shareholding in Heinrich Lanz AG for 115% or a total of 21.114 million DM (German marks) to the US company John Deere & Company, which expanded the Mannheim site to become its European headquarters. The last Bulldog design was presented in 1957, the D4016 with 40 hp (29 kW). In 1958, Lanz's corporate livery changed from blue and red to John Deere's green and yellow, and the first modern multi-cylinder diesel tractor was developed. In 1960, Heinrich Lanz AG Mannheim was renamed John Deere-Lanz AG. Bulldog production in Mannheim ended in 1960 with the introduction of the John Deere-LANZ 300 and 500 tractors with four-cylinder diesel engines. Bulldogs were still produced at Lanz Iberica in Getafe, Spain, until 1962. The John Deere (Lanz) tractors gradually replaced the entire Bulldog series; large models were initially still imported from the USA. Machines from the Mannheim and Zweibrücken factories still bore the lettering "John Deere-LANZ" for several years. The use of the brand name "Lanz" ended with the payout of the last Lanz shareholders in 1967, when the company name "John Deere-Lanz AG" was changed to "John Deere Werke Mannheim, Zweigniederlassung der Deere & Company". From then on, John Deere-Lanz Verwaltungs-AG limited itself to renting and leasing the Mannheim plant to John Deere & Co. At the Annual General Meeting on August 22, 2011, a resolution was finally passed to force the remaining shareholders of John Deere-Lanz Verwaltungs-Aktiengesellschaft to relinquish their shares in return for a payment of EUR 638.24 per share.

10:15 I don’t know about this exact model (maybe someone else can pitch in), but back in my childhood (rural Switzerland, early 90s), vehicles of a similar build (a lot of times with only one axle) were still quite popular with people who had a small farm or a larger plot of land, either to transport smaller or lighter loads on a flatbed trailer or to drive with agricultural tools like ploughs, snowploughs or mowers mounted to the front.

@@SheratanLP But wouldn't those just be completely illegal to drive on public streets if their registered maximum speed is 60 km/h or under and they still go faster?

[@SheratanLP]

@@oskar6747 No, not necessarily. There are vehicles in Germany that, according to the factory specifications, drive 60 km/h, but reach speeds of over 60 km/h from the factory. These were manufactured before 1989 and the fall of the Berlin Wall and have what is known as grandfathering. The best example is the Simson S50 moped, built in East Germany. Its maximum speed stated by the factory is 60 km/h, but it can reach speeds of 80 km/h without any modifications being made to the moped that would increase the speed. You are not allowed to use this moped on the motorway because, according to the road traffic regulations, only vehicles with a speed *over* 60 km/h are allowed to drive. And so that there is no misunderstanding. It is permitted in Germany to tune vehicles to reach higher speeds. However, these vehicles must have been inspected by the TÜV and have received approval for operation from the TÜV. If such vehicles are not approved by the TÜV, the vehicle's operating license automatically expires. However, for the motorway with its minimum speed, what counts is the maximum speed specified by the manufacturer for a vehicle. It doesn't matter whether it can legally reach speeds of over 60 km/h.

[@Tom_Err]

Nice collection! At 9:35 those colourful vans are called "Barkas B1000", an East German brand. They were very common back in the days. B1000s came in many versions like pickup trucks or minibuses and were equipped with 2-stroke-engines. They were used as ambulances, by law enforcement , firefighters, as delivery vehicles.... The blue truck at 13:30 is another east german vehicle "IFA S4000", the green military truck should be an soviet-russian KrAz (255 maybe...)

Greem ones mean the car is tax free: car of peaple with a disability, trucks and trailers, that are more a movable machine than a basic truck e.c. a crane; trailers for sportsgear or animals for sportive purposes; you can also often find them on trailers behind big trucks - the trailers go free because the pulling truck pays extra tax (you pay once for the trailers and may have several trailers than may be only be pulled by a truck with the higher tax.

Yes, the good old Soviet-Ukrainian KRAZ, which was developed on the basis of the American Diamond T-980

[@TheDerster]

@@Ярослав-с7и6г ....not really, it goes a bit deeper than that. The KrAZ 255 is a truck on basis of the JaAZ 214 which then became the KrAZ 214 and then the 255. (the literally only difference between the JaAZ 214 and the KrAZ 214 being the hood ornament as far as i know) The 256B as well as the 257 and 258 also lead back straight to the JaAZ 210 in chassis, as well as the aforementioned JaAZ 214. It was the JaAZ 210 that took design choices from the REO and the T-980. The later JaAZ and the KrAZ only developed further on the 210. The KrAZ 250 and 260 as well as after those the 6443 are in design rather different, except of a lot of drivetrain parts. Key difference between 250 and 260 is the either 4x6 or 6x6 chassis, both used the twin turboed YaMZ 238, unlike the 255, 256B, 257 and 258. These used NA YaMZ 238's. The reason the 255 came up as a 6x6 after the 214 is that the licenced Detroit in these, called M206B, was straight up underpowered for a truck of that size. But luckily the Kirowez K700 came along, and while doubling to trippling the entire eastern bloc agricultural income alone, brought the YaMZ 238 with it. Same engine also was used in the MT-LB and stuff, later twinturbo charged for the K700A and that twin turbo charged engine lead to variants for the 250, 260 and further. In terms of transmissions, the one in the 210 and 214 that were american licenced also werent exactly good, and after the YaMZ 238 engines came along the YaMZ 238N transmissions came along, which helped with that problem and all stuff was alter build on those.

[@Ярослав-с7и6г]

​​@@TheDersterAfter the Second World War, the Union had a lot of American trucks from Lend-Lease, including Diamonds t890, so the Union began to manufacture their copies. Initially, both YaAZ and KRAZ produced the same American copy. YaMZ engines and the transmission to them are also copies of the Americans

At the time of its construction it was in some terms more performant than its western counterparts (front-wheel-drive, low loading height, up to 1 ton load capacity, ...). 13:38 IFA stands for Industrieverband Fahrzeugbau (Industrial Association Vehicle Manufacturing), a collective combine in the GDR compassing all automotive corporations. The logo was mainly used by the subsidiary IFA Nutzfahrzeuge (IFA Utility Vehicles) as well as for early passenger car models (based often on pre-WW II models, for which originals the copyright often belonged to western companies). 14:59 A ZT 320 of the East German brand "Fortschritt" (progress), built in the 1980s in the VEB Traktorenwerk Schönebeck ('people owned company tractor plant Schönebeck'). 16:35 "Bauwagen" (construction site wagons) are mobile sheds / break rooms / offices used on many construction sites - sometimes also reused as mobile homes, studios or kindergarten sheds (for so called Waldkindergarten = forest kindergarten - see e.g. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWLIc4lsj7mBerM). They are similar to older circus wagons. 17:07 a Magirus Deutz truck. Magirus was originally a producer of firefighter trucks and equipment in Ulm - the logo incorporates symbolically the Ulm Minster silhouette. It was merged with the Diesel engine manufacturer Humboldt-Deutz (Cologne) in 1936 and was very successful in the 1950s and 1960s. As it got financially troubled in the 1970s, it was taken over by the Italian Iveco company.

1:27, 19:06 centre of the Wheel shows the Crest of the "Heinrich Lanz Aktiengesellschaft Mannheim" By the way the Heinrich Lanz Ag was taken over in or about 62 by Deere & Company out of Moline Illinois, the colour of which happens to be a dark green paired with yellow rims Beautiful Lanz yes, but Green and Yellow; be careful what you say if you ever find yourself a guest at one of these meets... might be seeing the pointy ends of some pitchforks if you get the wrong part of the crowd

[@phonebone81]

Here in northern germany they named it "Trecker Treffen". A few years ago we attended this event as a father's day motor bike tour. There I saw a Porsche Diesel Tractor P 133 for the first time. Best wishes from Hamburg (Germany)

[@raunoeisel7120]

9:15 East-German Barkas B1000 13:45 The blue truck is an East-German 1950s IFA truck. The green military truck is a 1960s KRAZ from the Soviet Union 14:10 the red and white truck is a 1950' to 1960s Soviet KAZ truck You should check these out and also look into the URAL, ZIL and KAMAZ trucks. They are awesome and way to underrated

[@arnomrnym6329]

19:05 John Deere bought Lanz in the 50ies. Until 1967 both logos were shown, than the color and logo was changed to JD. Lanz had a big production plant in Mannheim, which is JD today, and a lot of these tractors, produced in germany are still exported to the US! 😉

[@kosta_k_86]

17:09 I notice... some are also used as toilet carts, for example at festivals

[@sorenmeyer7347]

The first machine seperates the straw from whe grain, the second one makes bales out of the straw. Later machines combined the two, so that you "only" have to lift the wheat up and get bales / grain out. It's the ancient version of a combine harvester. The small stationary motors were very common in smaller villages two, they predated the tractor and were much cheaper (tractor without wheels). Some are even steam powered, later electric (in the 50s). All get's linked up with belts made from plant fiber, which has to be lubricated frequently to keep the friction on the wheel of the motor and the machine.

[@Paul.kl23]

The Heinrich Lanz Ag was bought by JD, thats why that one Lanz had JD Colors, they had a time when they were called John Deere Lanz, and the Orange Pampa was a license build by the argentinian, Australians also built licensed Lanz under some other name

[@wacholder5690]

17:10 It is a Magirus Deutz. Deutz in Cologne, was founden by Nicolaus Otto - "inventor" of the four stroke engine - in 1872 is still existing as an engine manufacturer. Their trucks division was transferred into Iveco (a cooperation of Fiat & OM of Italy, Unic of France and Magirus-Deutz in Germany) in 1975, which still exists today. Magirus was know for using the Deutz air-cooled diesel engines and the built a lot chassis for the military or fire fighter vehicles.

[@BangOlafson]

6:10 looks like thrashing of some grain and the straw is then pressed into bales

[@Tom-Lahaye]

Most of the vehicles shown, apart from all the Lanz tractors, are east German brands. The vans are Barkas, the trucks with the diamond shape logo with three letters are IFA, and the more modern tractors are Fortschritt also sometimes branded as Zetor or IFA (one tractor had an IFA logo). All those companies were state owned under the communist regime. The blue car towards the end is a Moskvitch, a Soviet built car. And the badass military truck was also Soviet, model KrAZ 255. The small round nosed truck at 17:06 is a Magirus-Deutz S3500 from the 1950s, and that was a west German brand later absorbed in the Iveco group. Btw, I never have seen a Lanz making pops and bangs like that. The engine in the Lanz is a 10,5 liter single cylinder (other sizes do exist as well) , the cylinder is horizontal and the part at the front of the tractor is the head with the hot bulb. This is a small chamber in the head with a glowing metal bulb in it, it has to be preheated with a blowtorch from the outside and once the engine runs the combustion keeps the bulb hot. It runs on diesel but since it uses the bulb for ignition it's not a true diesel, as it is not compression ignition. It can however run on other fuels than diesel only, as long as the flash point isn't too low. It takes also kerosene, vegetable oils, light fuel oil and even used engine oil.

[@onkelpencho8609]

The word Schlepper comes from schleppen(pulling) so they all are Pullers😂

[@maximilianhindenburg3168]

So does Tractor from Latin, trahere traho traxi ...pull

[@adamnemeth8041]

At 13:12, that's a KrAZ 255B military truck. It was made from 1967 to 1994 in the city of Kremenchuk, USSR (currently in Ukraine). It is a 12 tons truck with a 14.9 litres V8 naturally aspirated diesel engine, with a 260 HP output. Fun fact, that the bodywork's frame was made from wood, and the truck has got an own compressor, which can blow the tires up. It was very popular in the communist countries, the Hungarian army is still using many of them.

[@Ярослав-с7и6г]

Yes, and I will also add that Kraz was developed on the basis of the American Diamond T980

[@helloweener2007]

The colourful vans are East German Barkas B 1000. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barkas_B_1000

[@artemiasalina1860]

You know the old expression "fast and loose"? That was referring to those long slack belts on the farm machinery (and in factories). They were notorious for flying off if they weren't aligned properly, and were dangerous.

[@kolbi136]

I want to tell you this little Unimog is called "Haflinger" its build by Puch also the little Brother(Sister) from the Pinzgauer.

[@Laurelinad]

12:45 i just drove the 2024 Tesly Model Y of my neighbor's, i have a 1992 Audi 80 B4. that's night and day already

[@itsmebatman]

8:20 you can't take these to the Autobahn. You are only allowed to do that with vehicles that can go at least 60km/h. I doubt these old tractors can do that. Also 9:25 those are called Barkas B1000. They are a sort of minivan from the former GDR. They were used as utility vehicles for all kinds of stuff. You still see them sometimes in East Germany 34 years after the reunification. At 14:00 that's a Soviet military truck and most likely used to be in the inventory of the GDR, hence the GDR patch on the passenger door.

[@xhearthfirex6571]

I think these trailers the L bulldogs were hauling were like cabins on wheels to sleep in them. My grandfather also had a very old truck and he had a trailer like that too. It’s kinda like a camper

[@juricarmichael2534]

Same like in old workshops, all maschines were driven by belts and shafts. Holes in walls to lead them through and to the only motor (very early steam, later on diesel).

[@jeffree9015]

There were literally bales coming out of the machine whilst you were asking. 😂

[@sbernd78]

Those ‚cylindrical Hubcaps‘ on the UNIMOG are in fact a Step to get in the cabin. And the light blue truck is an old Iveco-Magierus. Ist a ‚M‘ with the tower of the Ulmer Münster Integrated. Magierus was based in Ulm.

[@Happymali10]

8:05 Vehicles that go on the autobahn are required to be able to reach at least 61kph. There is ONE tractor in germany that's allowed on the Autobahn, the owner had it modified to be fast enough and had the TÜV change the paperwork in accordance so he can go on the Autobahn legally.

[@ОлегСимоненко]

Van is barkas from ddr,they have 3 cylinder engine from motorcycle, and front wheel drive

[@josef08]

9:20 Thats a Barkas B1000. I was a small GDR Pickup

[@MRZERO-lu1ct]

funfact unimog is an abbreviation and means in full universal motor device hence the abbreviation unimog

[@MK-xc9to]

Well , the first Lanz Bulldog with 12 PS came out 1921 = over 100 Years now and the Plate says 38 PS , one cylinder with 10,266 l , probably the D9511 Modell build from 1935-1936 = 89 Years Old

[@malte3236]

8:05 Yes, they are streetlegal, but going on the Autobahn not only doesn't make any sense (like he said) but is also illegal. To drive on the Autobahn your verhicle must at least be able to go 60 kmph.

[@herrfingerknacks4970]

Imagine driving this Lanz 4:40 through a tunnel xD If this Schleppertreffen is coming up again in the year, then these Lanz Bulldogs owners are coming from all around Germany, yes some of them are driving over 300km (186 miles) or more through Germany to this Meet. Therefore, they need a place to sleep so they just take their Caravan with them, that's these "Shed's". I'am living in a small Village, and some of them are driving through here, it's always a pleasure to hear them :D

[@andreaskulow180]

14,45 this is ein Fortschrit ZT 323 build in east of Germany !He was buildin the last years of the GDR

[@petebeatminister]

The VW bus is officially called "Transporter" by Volkswagen and the different model lines over the years are T1, T2, T3 and so on. But really nobody calls them that here, we also say VW bus. Btw., they have now launched a fully electric one, did you see? The truck with the logo looking like a rocket is a Magirus-Deutz from the late 50s, early 60s. Magirus-Deutz was really big then in West Germany, building trucks, busses and heavy machinery. Later on the company was swallowed by IVECO.

[@HrLBolle]

7:35 The Term in German is actually "Straßenbulldog" and the one shown could be from a subcategory therein "Eilbulldog"

[@bennyhannover9361]

17:00 These Mobile Home were used often by traveling circuses, but also bevor war to traveling construction companies to house the construction workers away from home or later to give a place for pauses during daytime.

[@marcusmuller5901]

the vw busses are called barkas and they was build in the gdr.

[@Weiseorgelspieler]

This fancy looking Bull Dog you mentioned could have been a showmans or circus vehicle back in the days.

[@HrLBolle]

if you need torque for days but don't have the means the light a steam engine and keep it going just bring a Lanz Bulldog and a tanker of crude, might need a small fire for preheating that stuff but that like is going at the campsite anyway

[@Kent.]

The VW bus look-alike is the East German made Barkas B 1000 made between 1961 - 1988. It was made in multiple body styles. A van, a minibus and a pickup truck and special-purpose vehicles.

[@vonsauerkraut]

The smaller unimogs are for parks and large gardens

[@SedatKPunkt]

*13:40** I think it was a "Magirus-Deutz"*
