The subject - the Lanz Bulldog tractor with trailer in civilian service
The Lanz type HR8 was manufactured in different variants from 1935 to 1944. The 10.3 litres one- cylinder diesel engine had a continuous power of 38 HP and a maximum power of 45 HP.The only difference between the Lanz HR8 tractors was the totally closed driver’s cab. An additional warm-air heating was available for such driver’s cabs. This was more comfortable for service during winter.
