It is a glow-head engine and was developed from about 1918 by engineer Fritz Huber. It works according to the Akroyd method with internal mixing and external ignition (so it is not a diesel engine). Unlike the original Akroyd engine, which is a four-stroke engine, the bulldog engine operates in two-stroke with crankcase flushing. The compression is low, not higher than with gasoline engines of that time. Therefore, the engine does not have auto-ignition, but requires an ignition source. The ignition source is the so-called evaporator (also called glühnase) in the cylinder head; it glows with a slight red glow during operation. The fuel is injected at low pressure into the evaporator, where it evaporates and ignites on the hot walls. To start the evaporator must therefore be brought to glow with a soldering lamp. If the temperature of the incandescent head has fallen too low (e. g. due to long idling), the temperature of the walls serving as the ignition source is no longer sufficient to initiate ignition safely, so that the incandescent engine shuts down. Later variants with an additional spark plug could be started with petrol and were converted to diesel fuel after they had been warmed up. Spark plugs and injection nozzles are located in the cylinder head.

[@christophercutajar4020]

Kinda works like an remote control car nitro engine....but dose have a glow plug that will glow and ignite the fuel...

[@ulrichhaepp2657]

On that sheet of paper, you could read "Eilbulldog", which translates to hurry_Bulldog.; which were the faster going road version, made for trailing heavy loaded trailers ( up to 2 at once) instead of trucks. And they could double the speed of the agricultural versions. So this was a "normal" road going version of the 1930s withe norma truck hitch and gauges and license plate. Oftentimes circuses had those to trail their Loads and animals and wooden housing trailers.

[@Bauer-ke6lp]

This was basically the pre-WWI semi truck. They were never intended to do farm work, would probably be stuck immediatly. Note how the trucks pulling semi trailers in the US are still called tractors

[@karstendoerr5378]

You can see it at 7:54. It is a Lanz Bulldog of type D 2531 and the year of construction was 1942. This type was built from 1937 to 1954.

[@zweispurmopped]

The Lanz single cylinders are everything but quiet, but a show-off Harley is way louder! The Bulldogs aren't too bad there. The Eilbulldog is not made for agricultural work but for short to mid distance heavy hauling. When I was a kid, I still sometimes saw them pull circus wagons in the early Seventies here in Germany. There were versions of the Hanomag R40 that were used this way. These tractors basically were a mix between heavy haulage trucks and tractors. They had increased top speeds and a comfier cabin that would not kill you when driving for two hours straight.

[@HrLBolle]

The ailing Heinrich Lanz AG, based in Mannheim, was taken over by John Deere at the end of the 1950s and was fully integrated into their company until around 1964, and a once highly respected name associated with the mechanization of German and intra-European agriculture was lost. the years mentioned are a rough point to give context of when

[@stuborn-complaining-german]

We have Lanz Bulldog Meetings here in the South of Munich where you get rows and rows of those, each one better than the other... awesome! also the sound of about 100 of those going off at the same time is crazy!

Ahem… Auto Union (Audi) Type C. A 1930s 248 mph V16 terror machine. You’ll love it.

[@Itsjustme-Justme]

Road tractors are the grandfathers of today's trucks. Back in the day they were used for hauling goods to any place that the railways didn't reach, when needed over far distances too. They reached about twice the speed of their agricultural brothers, which was pretty respectable in a world that didn't know any Autobahn or Interstate highway systems yet. Lanz wasn't the only company making road tractors. Hanomag made them too. If you want to see something impressive, look up Hanomag SS-100 or ST-100. At first glance it looks like a 1930's version of an oversized SUV, but it's one of the biggest road tractors ever built. 8.5 liter inline-6 diesel, 360 foot-pound of torque, you will love it.

[@andreasekart3853]

Back in the days here in Austria the yellow triangel showed that the truck is towing a trailer. Without a trailer the triangel had to be folded down.

[@Phiyedough]

A farm in my village still uses a single cylinder tractor. In UK we had the field Marshall tractors which could be started using a shotgun cartridge.

There was massive variation on how agri tractors were built in Europe back then. One of my classic tractor books shows a French SFV single cylinder hot-bulb tractor with 12.8liter displacement - that's 781 cid

[@ratman_flo7496]

Lanz had build different Versions of their Tractors. Some were more for the Fields to work a Machine, some were more to pull Trailer, some were for different "Fuels" and so on. The Bulldog you can see in this Video seems to be an "Eilbulldog" (Hurry-/Rush-Bulldog) with an "Overdrive"-Gear to run faster than normal, a solid Cabin (or like here as Convertible). You can also see the typical european Trailer-Hitch for Semi-Trucks/Tractors. I'm not sure, i think a Semi-Truck is allowed to pull 1 Trailer, a Tractor 2 to 3. That's why they were used by Circus and traveling Fairs, also by the german Army at both WorldWars...

[@davidfoord3164]

Lanz Bulldog was also built in Australia under licence and were extemely popular trcators here. You can still sometimes find some in good condition, stuffed in an old shed ,or just rusting in the bush?

[@Hirndille]

The John Deere tractor there is the great-great-great-grand-son of the "Lanz Eilbulldog" tractor. Not only literally, but figuratively. The Heinrich Lanz Company based in Mannheim, Germany was bought by the John Deere Company in 1956. So that "show" was basically a family gathering, including many generations of the same product, formerly produced by Lanz, now by John Deere

[@denzzlinga]

This is called an Eilbulldog (something like hurry bulldog). It was a road version of the agricultural Bulldog, geared for much faster speed and with smooth road tires and fenders and a cabine, and marketed as an alternative for lorries / trucks. And since it didn´t have a loading space of its own and was so short, it was allowed to pull two trailers.

[@HrLBolle]

Ian to answer your question: this is what came between the truck and the steam Traction engine for road haulage 1 cylinder 2 stroke hot bulb engine with about 10L displacement making roughly 30 hp And what I saw in the thumbnail indicates a road haulage traction engine, possibly even an "Eilbulldog" also check out the HANOMAG SS100 road Tractor gives you a context of how modern day haulage vehicles came to be.

This kind of Lanz-Bulldog is technically a street tractor and it was used just to tow heavy cargoes on the road, just like a truck

[@darkredvan]

Those „Eilbulldogs“ like the red one were widely used up into the 1960‘s, even 1970‘s by circuses and funfair showmen to tow their (large) trailers for living and equipment / attractions. Usually at least two long trailers, sometimes a third, short one as well. Later the Bulldogs (and similar tractors by other manufacturers like Hanomag, Kaelble, Faun) were replaced by regular trucks. Due to maximum allowed length they often used cabover semis with a short(ened) flatbed. BTW the company that built the Bulldogs, Heinrich Lanz at Mannheim was bought in 1956 by John Deere. From 1960 - 1967 they renamed the company in John Deere - Lanz, from 1967 on just John Deere.

[@brabusg350]

Heinrich Lanz AG in Mannheim was a German manufacturer of agricultural machinery. The majority of shares in the company, founded in 1859, were taken over by the US agricultural machinery manufacturer John Deere in 1956. So the green yellow tractor u saw was a grand grand kid of the lanz 😜😁😉

[@bennyhannover9361]

These things have been used to pave roads in the thirties because the asphalt was made plain with a heavy roll out of concrete which was pulled over the hot tarmac. These things weighed 3 tons so the Eildog could pull three of these rolls in a line behind him.. at a speed of 20 to 25 kmh or 12 to 15 miles per hour… these lanz or all prewar. The postwar bulldogs have a rounded hood and war mostly light versions for agricultural use.

[@HrLBolle]

Lanz Bulldogs do a very good job at making their presents known before you can see 'em if the winds is right You'll smell'em before hearing the exhaust, depends on what is used to run the engine (that will by the way run on most flammable liquids, "even the strongest whiskey the salon has to offer B.t.t.F.3 reference"

[@georgeratcliffe7752]

I can't speak for elsewhere, but we do occasionally see steam traction engines here in the UK, In fact a fair few years ago now I got to ride a full sized one into a show! (By full sized I mean a back wheel that was 9-10ft tall)

[@gerbentvandeveen]

I also used to have to cycle 7 miles to school. But when it rained heavily. I went to school with a friend in the tractor. From Spakenburg to Amersfoort center.

As far as I know the Lanz Eilbulldog wasn't build for agticultural purposes but for hauling freight.

[@Kullioking]

You want to know what this is? This is a, in german, "Schlepper". This is the over land cousen of the tractor. It is ment to haul heavy loads from Point A to B like a truck.

Back these days, tractors were built in different trims. There were some of them building for fun fairs or Circus. Then they have special trims with a lot of lights etc.

in finland some kids come to school in old tractors (or some richer ones comes ith new tractors...) and thats mostly because moped is colder to drive in winter and they dont have driving license (except for mopeds and tractors) nowadays thought, more of them use "moped cars" lmao which are dangerous as hell

[@Hartmut-oo5ts]

I remember decades ago there was driving licence for 16yo kids (in all of scandinavia?), confined to two gear gear boxes - so they modified some of the cars/tractors (?) to go to up to 80mph! Is that still so, or did that change due to EU-laws?

Nice one! This tractor is a great oldtimer :) And that two-stroke diesel sound... fantastic. The German plates on these tractors end with the letter H, meaning Historisch (historic). So that's for oldtimers like these tractors. It is not uncommon to see tractors on the road here in The Netherlands too, especially in agricultural areas. Modern tractors are a lot bigger, heavier, faster, less loud, more fuel efficient and more comfortable of course. All tractors should have registration plates and are fully road legal.

[@jensschroder8214]

There were three classes of Bulldog: the Field Bulldog, the Street Bulldog and the Rush Bulldog. The last one reaches about 35 km/h, 21 mph. It was intended to tow one or two heavy trailers on the road. During this time, trucks reached speeds of up to 40 km/h, 25 mph. It was later decided that vehicles on Autobahn had to drive faster than 60 km/h, 37.9 mph. This made many old street tractors and trucks obsolete.

After World War II, communists in Poland produced a copy of the Lanz Bulldog D 9506 called Ursus C-45 . The C-45 had a single-cylinder, two-stroke engine with a maximum power of 33 kW (45 HP) and a displacement of 10,300 cm3. The gearbox was 3-speed. The first C-45 with serial number 0001 worked 12,000 hours without the need for overhauls. Approximately 6,000 C-45 and C-451 tractors were exported to Brazil, China and Korea. Then, in 1954, a modernized version called Ursus c 451 was created in Poland . These changes included simplified operation, a more efficient fan, a case-hardened crankshaft, a headlight, a hydraulic lifter, and starting gasoline injection. A metal frame was attached to the windshield, rear fenders were installed, and a canvas cab was added. Production of the C-451 in Warsaw ended in 1959, and a total of 50,000 units were built.

Fun fact: The red plates are temporary plates that are used if you want to use the vehicle only for a short time, like test drives, auto shows, etc. So, the owner is probably not cruising around in this thing every day.

Actually they´re permanent "07"-Plates for historic cars/self-propelled anythings older than 30 years. And with those you are allowed to drive multiple cars (up to ten IIRC) on one number. They´re officially confined to test- and maintenance-purposes, but those also include journeys to car meetings and generally everything that serves the "purpose of preservation of old technology". So, in reality, you can run them on a daily basis - i ran my 1980 Mercedes 380 like that for several years without a single complain by the cops.
