MAN & Diesel: 100 Jahre Motorkraft für die Landwirtschaft (Band 2) - München

The move of tractor production to Munich in 1955 was accompanied by the conversion of engines to the M process. With Diesel's principle that only direct injection is economical, MAN ushered in a new era in the construction of vehicle diesels.
MAN expanded its tractor range, from the 14 hp 2F1 for small businesses to the 60 hp 4T1 for the heaviest work. In 1960, MAN created another new type of tractor, the grassland tractor: all-wheel drive, low center of gravity and still good ground clearance for safe work on slopes that no combine harvester can drive on.

Pages of the book MAN & Diesel 100 Jahre Motorkraft (2) (1)

In 1963, MAN handed over its tractor production to Porsche Diesel. In 1963, the production of MAN tractors ended. But MAN remained connected to agriculture in both East and West with built-in engines.
Since 1967, engines based on the MAN M process have been used in standard tractors in the GDR. Schlüter and Fendt rely on MAN engines in their tractors. This period is documented and illustrated in the second volume and will also delight fans of powerful engines: MAN engines with over 1000 hp now drive the forage harvesters from Claas and Krone.
