DDR TRAKTOREN IM EINSATZ – TEIL 4 – EIGENBAUTRAKTOREN (2010)
FSK: Freigegeben ab 0 Jahren

INHALTSANGABE:
Sie haben keine Seriennummer, kein Typenschild – und keinen bekannten Markennamen. Und dennoch sind sie auch heute noch fast täglich im Einsatz: Eigenbautraktoren aus der DDR. Da es für Privatleute fast nie einen serienmäßigen Schlepper zu kaufen gab, bauten in der DDR viele Landwirte ihren Pferdeersatz einfach selbst. Mit dem, was gerade zu bekommen war. Mal arbeitet unter der Haube ein Trabant-Motor, mal ein Verdampfer-Dieselaggregat. Mancher Antrieb stammt auch von einem ausrangierten Motorrad. Getriebe, Achsen, Tank und Rahmen kommen nicht selten vom Schrottplatz. In mühevoller Heimarbeit entstanden so tausende Traktoren, von denen keiner dem anderen gleicht. In Leipzig treffen wir etwa Hobbylandwirte, die auch heute noch mit ihrem Traktor mit Trabant-Motor und 26 PS ackern. In der Nähe von Naumburg wird noch mit Motorhacken gearbeitet, die mit SR 2-Motor arbeiten. Aber auch ein 80-PS-Schlepper kommt zur Arbeit aufs Feld. Der Film DDR-Eigenbautraktoren im Einsatz portraitiert einige der verbliebenen eigenwilligen Schlepper – und setzt so dem Erfindungs- und Improvisationsgeist der DDR-Zeit ein kleines Denkmal. Der Film ist ein Muss für Fans und Freunde der DDR-Landtechnik und für alle, die damit groß geworden sind…

They are not the biggest, not the most beautiful and by no means the most powerful, but they are the ones that many part-time farmers in the GDR have paid more attention to than any other machine. We are talking about self-built tractors because factory-built

Machines are only available on state allocation and usually according to plan For LPGs, people had to rely on their talent for improvisation. Anyone who wanted to cultivate a piece of field or measure a few pigs had to build the tractor themselves.

Whatever could be provided was installed. This was particularly true for the engines in these two self-built ones Trabant motor which adventurous machines were born out of necessity is what this film shows. We visit tractor builders and collectors in the new federal states and use

The self-made tractors for field work again 20 years after the fall of the GDR on the Glie family farm in Possenhein a village near Naumburg At the sale, father Sigmund Lie is taking his favorite tractor today, he calls him the big one. Sigmund Gich is

A trained agricultural technician and a self-confessed fan of self-made tractors, just like his Matthias Gich is taking the second self-made tractor to go out into the field for spring work. The tractor has to be started with the fuse, a procedure that The 35-year-old loves and celebrates

The two g we will meet more often in this film and they will introduce us to some of their adventurous constructions not only their self-built tractors but first, manure has to be brought to the field – a typical spring work with the

Hydraulic grab of his Matthias glie loads the tractor, then his father can get going. The tractor with which Sigmund gliich is traveling with crap tax consists of parts that don’t actually belong together, but when combined they all

Serve their purpose. Let’s start at the heart, this is a 2vkd8 here, which is a two- cylinder was installed in muldika and also in the 09 and we have now installed it here in the tractor as a stationary engine, it has a gearbox behind the engine,

A clutch tunnel with a manual transmission, this is from the bomb tractor, it was a company tractor in DD times and we still have one second placed behind it to get the speed down, it’s not supposed to be a racing machine, it’s supposed to do the job and have

A chain drive in the second gearbox here, which are two two inch chains, reduced again by 1 by 3.5 and that’s where we get the speed in fourth gear at about 7 kmh the tractor, like all tractors in the family, has a four-wheel drive, which

Of course requires some technical raapiness here we have a front axle for a four-wheel drive, we have one of the Russian ones from the uas, but it was shortened because we have the track width of 1 .10 need and this axle is driven directly by the rear axle from the gear

And again to get the right ratio again with a chain transmission and this connection between the rear axle and front axle that you can also switch it off was simply done with a claw gear or claw segment that

You can engage and disengage with this lever. The PTO shaft, which also drives the manure truck, is itself driven by a V-belt so that the direction of rotation is correct. A gearbox had to

Be planted in between, which is a gearbox from an Opel P3 or P4 as it used to be from before but it fits so that we can get out with the power take-off at exactly 5,540 revolutions at the back. The

Arms for the three-point hydraulics at the rear come from the tie rods of a truck. The handbrake from the Trabant in 5 years, says Sigmund different than today, they will never be finished, you can say that we have a

Completely complete tractor and it does its job and its duty and we hope that it stays that way. Sometimes the changes or work on the tractor are generally not planned after one After half an hour of work with the manure truck, the big son,

Matthias Glie, suddenly found the error and now we have damage to the Zappwelle Back here they have chewed up the cross-steered waste, which means that the tractor has to go to the clinic for two hours. It would actually be a walk, but since we

Don’t have time now, it has to happen another day, but some damage does happen at some point. It’s actually in the Question of the spare parts because they are mostly used parts and not new ones and so something like that can happen, it’s just the preliminary effect today

So it’s time to go to the farm to repair it but there is already enough natural fertilizer in the field that can be plowed for the green Lotte by Sven Schumann the green Lotte is still a young lady in 198889 it was built, even if not by Mr. Schumann

Himself, but by colleagues with me, I used to make hay on it together and I want to sell it because of old age, my knee is broken, my leg is undamaged I’ll then use what we’re looking for, the green Lotte as Sven Schumann calls his tractor.

It’s based on a Multicar engine gearbox and the axles come from the van and equipment carrier next to it and the gearbox is long at the back and the rear axle is Kier with something like that It’s all a little bit together and as was the norm in the past, it wasn’t even

Big for us. At that time they built SAS, they also built the V, which was much further forward in the M. I took everything back. VI cylinder engine of the multicar, the performance is impressive You also need 28 hp in the area in the Bogenlandkreis, the soil is quite

Heavy, but the green lotte is not only good for field work. There is a winch at the back, the self-made multicar-based tractor is also ideal for [applause] forestry work, much older than the green one Lotte is Harry Steingrab’s car. He built the car together with his son in the early 1970s. The engine,

Like the Green LTE, produces almost 30 hp. No wonder it also comes from the [applause] Multicar. It took a year and a half to get out of engine two Lo driven and many small parts

Became a usable tractor. He is now back in the field with his big one and now has a plow with him. In the autumn of 1978 the tractor m was run for the first time in Possenheim. It took two years

To build there. There are no drawings behind the links For the tractor, the idea of ​​what it should look like simply came about in my head and that had to be enough. With 12 hp, the big one is

N’t exactly a powerhouse, but it still pulls the two-blade flight, not least thanks to all-wheel drive. They actually say that the manufacturers give 10 hp per blade This means that in this case it is a

Double with 20 hp but as you can see it can also be done with less hp. However , the tractor also depends on the correct reduction of the motor to the axle, which is actually

The most important thing so that the machine doesn’t move It always has to run smoothly. Here it is in the optimal speed range of 2800 revolutions. The machine has the most power according to the performance diagram

And we actually use that here or try to make full use of it. A field further closer to the edge of the village, Sigmund Gich’s neighbors are also doing spring work and could do it differently His own tractor is also working here and nothing is off the shelf. Bernard Heile and his son

Jens built this tractor themselves. In the GDR era, the Teiler family still had a few smaller areas that needed to be worked on and a few pigs that wanted to be measured under the hood kunewalder evaporator motor from this unit it is said that it needs more water

Than diesel the engine actually comes from a dieselarmise the multica M21 the frame, on the other hand, is a purely in-house design we ultimately assumed a bit from the rs09 which is just longer richer and that’s where we have it I said that would be practical, we had nice

WT and put a two-cylinder diesel on it, but we couldn’t get by with which of the tub because it was cranked from 09 and so we stuck with the engine otherwise we would also have had a two-cylinder diesel with 14 HP Univ the angle gearbox The tractor comes from a fertilizer spreader, a

Combine harvester has the clutch and the manual transmission in turn has a lo The truck does its job. What is significant is the gear ratio, as can also be found in the diesel armise. Here, however, the translation has been changed because the armise ultimately

Had to be capable of speeds of up to 25 kilometers per hour, but the tractor did not have Werner parts in 1970 when the tractor saw the light of day The engine was still installed transversely, but that proved to be impractical when flying, so a few years later he installed the engine lengthwise.

It’s a gem, it shines in the sun and it’s a shame for field work. That’s exactly what a tractor, the bright red one, is made for Tractor belongs to lu pride from small that of the gente agricultural machinery and tractor fitter

Is visibly proud of his tractor, which is self-made, you don’t take it off but it is definitely a one-piece, it was only built once z r9154p page the name may seem familiar but that It’s deceptive, there were the small ones, the DZ4

14C from the Czech Republic, but they only built production cooperatives and large large garden centers as a cooperative and since we always did a bit of agriculture on the side in order to, as they say, get something on the table, I think there was

Always something but also something else and then the heating in the house was fired with wood and since there is a forest nearby and there was also our own forest, I had to build a tractor and

It had to be off-road, so I had to use all-wheel drive and hydraulics I also have a trailer that comes with hydraulic brakes, so I can drive the trailer indefinitely, and that’s why it’s built so low so that it doesn’t surround him at the lowest level because he’s

Learned the mechanics of being a locksmith from scratch. A lot of pride and it’s not difficult to own his own tractor First of all, I constructed all the parts, including the rear axle, front axle and engine gearbox. That was then

Laid down and then I built the frame, which also fits to some extent and so yes, there are always changes in the construction phase, but and in the size I wanted e The width should not be larger, the wheel should have a track width of 1225 because in our country this is the

Case in the potato row and the rice row and because the devices are all designed for 1.25 m, whether large devices at the EBG or in the that was all 1 .25 this is a row and that’s how it came about in size. The type designation of the home-made tractor rs09 15

4 The Wachalowski engine , which was first built in Linz, only had 18 hp during further development in the GDR and the 4 For example, Jeep from the Russian jeenas 69, the axle of this one is significantly wide. I know, as I

Mentioned before, it had to be 1225 and so I cut it apart and welded it back together. I put these weights on it because I’m on the three-point hitch at the back I’m driving pallets with wood and the dirt would go up at the front and

I put the weights on it like 13 kg, that’s 240 kg and it won’t go up anymore, the one from Renrecker, so the engine is a two-cylinder air-cooled V-engine with 18 BS was built in Schönebeck and was installed in rs09 in GDR times in the equipment carrier, the gearbox,

Which is an intermediate gearbox, which reduces the gear ratio, another Z 2.6 and the manual gearbox is from a Dumper Varan, which is a transfer case, which is from an all-wheel drive military vehicle, but everything out of a phenomenon K30 the rear axle is again from a Varan the

Air tank is from a trailer that serves me as a tank as a diesel tank then I have this one here that is called opitrol lenkorbitrol because the tractor has fully hydraulic steering that is on every machine these days feldhächsler on combine harvester on C300 wherever there

Was a steering it was installed. The steering wheel is again from a wburg 1.3 which already had the VW engine in it, it was a pure foam wheel pure foam steering wheel like the wheels

They are from MDS 52 from a four-wheel drive Russian which he has on the front axle this three-point suspension these arms are again from arel 09 adventurous but very precise the drive of the front wheels is done via a chain it wasn’t that easy that smiles loter proudly so

They do The speeds of the transfer cases are evenly distributed, so the rotation of the screw is like this and since I now have smaller wheels at the front and the differential is completely different to the rear, I have to compensate for the speeds so that it doesn’t push or

Brake when I do I turned on the all-wheel drive and then I jacked up the vehicle, rolled the wheels, how many meters there are and here are the meters that are rolling, I set a ratio and I made the ratio for the sprockets. There were all sorts of them

In different times Sprockets whether that’s 17 teeth up to I say up to 25 and larger and Kiner and so I put the sprockets in proportion and then my speed is right again and that’s also true I can while driving I can if I drive normally here I can do

All-wheel drive switch on and can easily switch off the four-wheel drive again, so the self-made tractor has two hydraulic pumps with two separate circuits – one is used for the field hydraulics, the other for the steering – the steering itself is fully hydraulic,

Which is why the proud owner Luther can proudly use his self-made four-wheel tractor with one Finger steering in small areas that have to be turned frequently is an invaluable advantage of the power partner Jannis Roder a village that now belongs to Naumburg on the edge of the village Fred Stahl drives

Up to work in the fields with his self-made tractor with a cultivator and harrow the plowed field is prepared for the potato bell no problem for the idiosyncratic home-built tractor from Fred ST the tractor has enough power reserves for the heavy soil and doesn’t struggle in the slightest. What’s

Striking are the four equally sized wheels and the engine overhanging at the front the center of gravity is ideal for pulling work, comparatively far forward the tractor was built in the early 80s, of course Not from the 26 year old Fred Stahl but from his uncle

Who had already gained experience with a small self-built tractor with a BMW engine. The parts of the diesel tractor were also collected together. It actually comes from the scrapyard. Actually, there was nothing before and everything was put together in the scrapyard. Axles, gearbox, engine It happened to be from a

Broken forklift that was still reliable, otherwise everything was made from a lot of scrappers. The distributor gearbox is also from Lo. The axles are from Garant. The front axle was shortened. There’s a long and a short piece because the wheels are from Garan. The front axle is the same wide as

The outer tires and there was another short piece over there that was added and it fits with the track Markus EIB and Werner Gaudix from Jannis Roder are out and about with their own buildings in the hilly surroundings of the village. There

Are some meadows and fields scattered around the edge of the forest The two tractors are operated as a part-time job. They have some similarities that you don’t necessarily notice. Both were built under the guidance of the blacksmiths from the neighboring village. We’ll meet them later. It’s understandable that the hood is also quite

Similar. There are two cylinders inside the engine like the ones in the multiger Then we have fen gearboxes two in a row so that you can reduce the speed and the front axle and rear axle

Also from the feno. We shortened the front axle so that we can get the size for the potato in here from the gearbox from the second gearbox are always down with the chain. Unfortunately there was no other way Because otherwise I can’t handle the height with mowing pallets,

So I work with it, mowing the grass, slinging potatoes, towing the meadows and other things like that in the winter I usually bring wood home from the forest, which I have prepared. The two-cylinder engine from Multicar was made in the GDR More often

Used for self-builds, it wasn’t that big and it depended on how tall you got, so now it just wasn’t that easy to get to the engine at the time, yes that’s how it happened

It came to just under 5000 marks KCH. At that time we still had cattle at home on bulls. We usually have four bulls, always with the handcart and the scythe, and we were interested in using the machine to do the work that we do today However, they are

Difficult to do by hand. These are to be harvested for hay and still need some care in the spring. Moles and mice have added to the subsoil in the cold season, so something needs to be leveled now and if there is still a little too

Much moss and mulch in it Hanging from the grass hub, this is loosened up with the turned corner gee. In 1984, when the tractor was built by myself with the blacksmith from the neighboring village,

It only took half a year to put it in place. On the front of the hood there is a sign with the words urtrag The name biellarus can still be seen faintly on the side. Urtrck is from the predator, they were scrapped back then, it remained there as a memory and

This is part of the MDS 50 bonnet, part of the bonnet that didn’t fit, so we had to widen it In the middle and serves as a cover with and well the two self-built brothers head back towards the village because the potato field there should now

Be well prepared so that Markus EIB can also get started. The 17-year-old has to level the field a bit and chop up the hard chunks – no problem for him He still pulls his approximately 20 hp tractor powerfully, even after decades, even though the engine

Has already had more than one working life behind it. The designer of the tractor proudly stands at the edge of the field. Village blacksmith Haig Kneist from Heiligen Kreuz has built an estimated 20 tractors W with built and water evaporator engines and many with meugen there with meugenerü there with Meser learned

That Hartwig knist everyone here just calls Hartin not to build tractors I am an original blacksmith blacksmith and then later in the evening I did training agricultural machine tractor lock where we then did My son has already done something for him in the last year of school. He has

Done a lot with him. The aer is now well prepared so that it can be ordered. That ‘s the moment when IG Wölfel comes into action with his ebau, the row of potatoes, pulled and gelled Harvest Schlosser didn’t have to rely on outside help for his work equipment

But built everything himself, shortly before the GDR ceased to exist in 1989, but he didn’t know that at the time. The 24 hp tractor was probably one of the last in the GDR A shortage economy has arisen, a GT 124 engine gearbox powered by Garant will

Soon be available to everyone, so the rear axle of every tractor will help a little when planting potatoes With a home-made tractor, after the work is done, you go back to the village. Rarely do you see so many home-made tractors together, an image that will soon be a thing of the past. The

Sound is familiar to everyone in the GDR, but the shape of this one may not quite fit in. It’s no wonder from the outside You can’t tell what engines are working under the hood on these two Kleint tractors. They come from the Trabant, the most popular car in the GDR.

The noise is the typical two-stroke sound of the Trabant engine Alone is not enough to build a tractor. The rear axle is from a Romanian small truck, the engine transmission is from the Drabant, the hydraulic pump is from the MDS50, the steering aid is the control scraper from the Gabelstaler from

Bosch Weights at the back also from the ZD 300 Tires from MDS 52 that is all-wheel drive actuator the tires plus the seat shell again from the MDS 50 handlebars drabant everything well placed underneath the tank air filter has to change everything because

There used to be no space on top of the air from the W50 yes electrics Z Even if the Trabant engine doesn’t necessarily sound as powerful as a diesel, with a little tinkering you can turn it into a veritable tractor unit. With the

Trabant’s original gearbox, the differential is simply locked, the reduction then brings the power. In my opinion, it has 26 HP, so you can already tell that it’s pulling by myself with a curse behind it see that or hanger

So grouper everything I have plus he has always done his job it took weeks until Reiner Ransch had his Trabant tractor together and of course the months-long search for the right parts and material for the frame was unsuccessful and organizing similar things

Wasn’t a problem for the trained bricklayer, just as it wasn’t a problem for Volkeller with his extremely narrow tractor, which he calls Trabolus. It had to be so narrow because I didn’t have any storage space with wide gates It had to be maneuverable,

I had to get into the garden in the back of the garden through a narrow garden gate to get everywhere and that was what was offered. The requirement was then that I had to be able to drive in traffic because

When you’re here, you’re close to the city and then there’s nothing for me to do with a tractor that I don’t have can drive on the road and the first thing I did was drive to the technical inspection center back then and that’s what

We had. At first I thought you had no chance and that wasn’t bad at all. We then had two of the four pages of specifications about what everything had to be Welding work with original parts, lighting, braking and then I adjusted myself and then I had the parts.

I then collected some of the flashing places and so on and within about half a year I got it to the point where I could then I was able to drive to the technical testing center in Leipzig and get the inspector out to Engelsdorf and he did

A few laps and was satisfied. The brakes worked and he then stamped the numbers and I had my operating license standard inside small self-built tractor 89 green permit so and there could I then also partially halichtv-safe at the beginning yes no

The parts are essentially forklifts that is the rear axle of the forklift that is the axle that is then side traffic then the steering would also have to be turned right then the drabant motor is clear then I had various other things that

Is e.g. from the mobed S50 what was the tank then tires from the mts50 that’s association has to change here nbe everything had to be documented with a welding certificate and everyone else no chance otherwise felus control slide hydraulic bumper make the metal pump which I had from the scrapyard on Chauer Straße

Back then I took it out of the truck, it was a steering pump, otherwise the gearbox is from fen, so in the small transporter at the time it had a clutch bell, even if the Trabulus from Volkmaheller

Is not even a meter wide, it is a fully-fledged small tractor with all the attachment options I tended the garden, practically plowed it and then scrubbed it, I also sawed it, hauled it, so Hal did the field work that you usually do. In 198889, Volkm Heller built his trabodus

A year before the DDA went under, the now 58-year-old would have if he had known that the GDR had a shortage economy It would soon come to an end, but it actually started, but then as I then the parts that had me then the greed took hold of

Me that something would happen, that it would work and that something could be done and once you set your mind to it Then you finished the E and had to finish it when it was sometimes difficult, sometimes you wanted to throw the whole thing back and then do something again, and

Then a year later W it has probably already become more difficult with the approval or with the operating license in the wake of reunification then you can’t even understand it today, then it’s probably true, but just two decades ago, home-made tractors with Raban engines were

Indispensable for part-time farmers to order eer and thus earn extra income Heinz Petzold’s farm in Leipzigengelsdorf is known to tractor fans primarily as a land collector and expert, but in his school there is also a self-built one from the GDR era. We have a two-cylinder diesel evaporator engine made by GNE Walder.

It was available as a single cylinder and two cylinders were very often used as a drive Stationary engines were used by machines and out of necessity they were also used to put together a tractor. Horse power was no longer available. They wanted to be mobile in some way and

Thought about it. There was no such thing as a tractor in the trade and they both put together tractors like this and here We have a model like this, which you might have already demonstrated, which has no pre-gliding system, practically no big battery,

You don’t have to do anything with the lyre to make the zinden work, there are lunden and with the lugs are practically here the lunden holders you put a lune in here in the front It’s a kind of little thing when you turn it in. We turn it in every two

, yes, so now we have strong guys who are still strong in their arms and who are now working on K vololle [applause] filler before we go out into the field, the devices have to be charged from the

Harrow to steel rings to wire saloon and off we go to the meadow on the outskirts of town the schlapper once belonged to Heinz Petzoll’s parents, now their own grandchildren are already on board when the son goes into the field [music]

Now it becomes clear what the harrow and steel rings are for Ropes are good, the meadow has to be dragged in the spring, i.e. old dead grass is torn out with the corner. The rings are there to level out unevenness such as molehills, a service that

The home-made tractor has been providing reliably for decades and has been in family ownership for over 30 years out of necessity I took care of the tractor, which was supposed to replace the horse, I always drove a horse and it ate more than what it brought and

I couldn’t even start with a horse alone, so we needed a neighbor’s horse and somehow we decided that we said drives to the rosbad and organize tractor the dream of country’s bulldog was impossible and one star in the newspaper offer own balraktor inchatz looking for bathtub so quickly put in the car after

Chatz dangers older mannostler the farmer and first owner of the schlöpper was in the process of building a house and needed one Bathtub and a drill Heinz Petzold I do n’t want one but without insisting that the tractor gets a registration before the exchange

So the handshake gave me the Köf executed the exchange had the papers issued issued DF everything in addition a motor vehicle certificate that has it Today I still have this and uh so I proudly hung on the wbursch in December at 15° where the road was smooth where there was no

Urschaft on the wburch corridor and dragged behind it and when a town like Wurzen came to be a district town we hung out there drove through under our own power and then we hitched up and so we got home, 50 km under the Christmas tree, then the tractor

Was able to earn its own money and we cultivated fragments of land, which was unlucrative for large-scale farming, which was roadside ditches and edges and free areas and with a machine like this it was possible and we basically converted the machine here into a horse-drawn cart and then became a bit

Independent of any suppliers who bought the agricultural products, hay and so on ourselves Heinz Petzold’s self-built tractor is, to put it bluntly, a real Eastern Bloc community production. In addition to the Kunewalder evaporator engine, there are parts from

Some other RGW states. A few truck tires from an army guard in the area were a lot of Russians and he got the wheels from the Russian truck Worried, he used a Guarantee rear axle , turned some adapter sockets and the rear axle Eron once had

Wheels with the engine and then he got one from off-road vehicles from Romanian off-road vehicles He had a gear that he also used from the zor of the steering column, an angle gear from the Garant vachis self-made and everything else like burstang and so on, he shortened it to length

And there is a bit of a hood over it in front of two men that was approved back then at the end of My parents, like them, no longer had a car during their working hours, they didn’t have a car anymore, like they didn’t have a bike anymore, they both

Took the tractor and drove together to the bakery in the neighboring town or to the meat shop and then made their purchase, I mean Here we had both space, we were independent of us, we had work and were able to do their shopping together, but

The tractor was also enough to raise a few bulls and it still does that now and then , even with Wolfgang Rudolf’s tractor The engine from Kunewalde uses a two-cylinder V-engine, although the tractor was built more than 25 years ago and the engine had already

Been running in another machine for a few years before that. It still does its job reliably today, from the frame to the mezzanines, everything is self-designed and built, so it starts with the engine, which is a small rolling motor, then the transmission from the Multicar and behind it there

Is a transmission from the old waxer and the drive axle is from such an old one from such a construction vehicle at this time, for example, the front axle the steering knuckles are from the old diesel ant, the axle itself is built, so the front axle is actually

The steering gear is from the Multicar, the tank is from the Trabant, the mehbar, for example, is one of the oldest parts, I think it’s from around 1930. In my opinion, ferdegras used to be there That’s the ring and I have the fingertip, it’s now progress, there were the double fingers on it

And the knife is actually at least partly from me. For example, we always had a lot of stuff and for a while we had V from the LPG tractor had or but then it was time-consuming if you did it, for example, or he drove home or we

Grew a few potatoes and PA Runkeln, a tractor like that was actually quite cheap if you had something like that and you didn’t have to rely on anyone but they Independence had its price. Rudolf had to pay around 2,000 marks for the engine and gearbox. I knew him, he had

A multikenand in Weißenfels and he was worried about how he got it. I paid quite a lot for where he got it from or how. I don’t know exactly in each case It wasn’t that easy in 1980. In 1980, I got my own tractor and built it myself for the first

Time. Anyone who has put so much strength and endurance into their tractor does n’t want to give it back so quickly. Now I wanted to give 1000 € for it and I said as long as I did

If I have space, I’ll put it there and if I don’t need it yet, it’s definitely not just tractors that stand for the GDR’s improvisational art. This motor hoe, for example, even though it’s been standing in a corner of the barn for more than a year,

It starts straight away The drive is a Simson engine with 50 cubic centimeters, this engine is also installed in a sea. The single-axle vehicles have zi. and a half horsepower, so in terms of power, the thing doesn’t stop because of the reduction here, too, the thing, so they’re fine,

I still have it like that Angular gears on it so they already have endless power so if that’s what they’re actually looking at anyway so they don’t go out in the garden and on smaller corners the motor hoe is still used a lot today, we grew potatoes and

I have them in the garden for example I also added a heaping body, I also drew rows and laid the potatoes and then drove them through with the knives and chopped them to care for them and that was actually a really good thing. I do that now sometimes

When it’s wet or something like that. I can’t drive the tractor in I actually also take the thing from Family Parts in Possenhein near Naumburg, the sound of the motor hoe can be heard from typical available parts, the good piece can be built on the bars, for example

The bicycle tool bags are not missing to stop the engine there is a standard bell button with a daily number Jens Teiler got the idea for the motor hoe from the popular GDR hobbyist magazine Praktiker. Someone had written in there how you could make hacking easier with card work.

Form an SR2 Engine a hackrah this time it was original from fortschut and designed the bit coordinated with the speed so that you don’t have to run too fast behind but you can still follow at a leisurely pace, we have worked out the translation and that wasn’t all specified,

Let’s just say that Data, everything that was there and so on. We said we had to try it out. We designed it all, it went well the first time and then we did it with the weights and little things like that came up afterwards

As time went on it comes out then you can use an original swallow motor and there are different variants now of the raven design here some have put the motor a little forward to put more load on the bike and they

Used tubular frame box profile and there are different but in the end It’s supposed to make things easier and, above all, you can get in between the potatoes at the end, where you can’t get in again with the tractor because it drags all the cabbage down and that’s how it developed

In principle, everyone has their own device because this vehicle can be used in row cultivation with a row spacing of 25 to 40 cm because the coulters are variable, I can easily pull them apart and push them together as required, as the clean distance is understandable that

Once thousands of self-made motor hooks land on land From then on, many discarded mopits and scooters were given a second chance as work equipment on the field. Formally complete, it stands in the barn of Fritz Kreuz’s tractor. The 79-year-old

Only rarely moves his home-made tractor. His health is no longer in good shape With his son, however, Fritz Kreuz, who takes care of the unusually beautiful tractor, tells us that the tractor was once a diesel ant, you can’t tell from looking at it, it comes from the

Ant from the 20s, the sheets were built and so on and so forth and the frame was rebuilt and repositioned the cream so that it shapes it a little bit so that it is wider at the back so

That of the axle like something and that is from the FR of the hood of the steering which comes from the girant the whole place here everything that is here down here the bentals and everything they are from

The combine and D from go russse but the ones we built first came from there, so it’s not a problem if the engine is at the back, Fritz Kreuz likes to demonstrate just the circuit for which you’re next to it Having to reach back may

Seem to take some getting used to. A few house numbers further in the small village of üchteritz, just outside Weißenfeld, is Helmut Grassof’s self-built tractor. As a trained blacksmith and pipe fitter, the now 75-year-old had hardly any problems assembling his own tractor from individual parts. That’s starting

With multi-wheels there yes yes front wheels I have there but later to get the tires to 600 I got other whitefish and then I welded them in because the axle is from the Roman rear the rear axle is v the control slide is from the Russian between

Is from thser Tractor and and the engine is the 22 mtiger because thanks to the towing hitch and tiller rail the 12inh hp tractor can be used universally the seat is

Comfortable thanks to simple springs if you don’t look very closely the tractor appears like an assembly line product from Fleming thanks to the hood that’s what the tractor was there The Multicar engine 2V kd8 that works under the hood was comparatively frugal and

Requires little care and maintenance. This also applies to the self-built by Manfred Montag, who lives on the outskirts of the village of üchteritz. He has his tractor together with his father and a work colleague in the early 1970s and repeatedly modified. Originally it was

Homemade tractor was a lot longer but didn’t fit in the shed SP that was the engine and we made everything smaller and where we got the engine everything here is turned from the like from the kiper V Baran axle because the front axle was different things everything

Works together, the hydraulics mostly come from the rs09, ideal for attaching and lifting a PUG or a rougher when working in the fields, that the engine is at an angle, says Montag, that doesn’t hurt the small nominal family from Prossenheim, this adventurous- looking self-made tractor, which is also here with a self-made

Sprayer On the move, the little one is agile enough to roll into the narrow fields right on the edge of the village between the fruit trees. In the field itself, all you have to do is fold out the booms of the sprayer and the work can

Begin. We call it the little one because it is The lowest in the HP class here is installed in 1h65 Kunewalde makes 6.5 HP at 1500 revolutions, which is why the small one with us we missed the circulation cooling, the engine is usually

Designed as a water evaporator has the advantage that we don’t need to carry additional cooling water in the summer It has a maximum temperature of 80° due to the radiator, which is actually optimal in terms of cooling, which is

Also the optimal water temperature for this engine in normal operating condition. The fact that the little certain one has a country glow plug is no coincidence to buy a real country, that’s with The mother always vetoes it, so father Siegmund and son Matthias simply improved the exterior a bit. It’s

A four-stroke single-cylinder engine, so it runs relatively smoothly, but you get the sound of the two-stroke engine like the country It doesn’t work, but we thought about it for a long time. First of all, it has to look like the shape of the land. Because it’s all relatively large,

It has a deep tone, so it runs relatively muffled if you don’t know it and you can see it somewhere or it’s somewhere else Works in hills is right in the pulling power, sounds like a 20 Landz, only that not a single part of the self-built actually

Comes from the legendary Schlöpperbauer LZ. Transmission here comes from the 175 mrescher, this is the clutch bell installed, the original manual transmission is located here under this panel A chain reduction that goes from the gearbox to the rear axle means we can achieve a maximum top speed of

6 hours because we are not racing machines and therefore the attachments come from the horse, we have to maintain the working speed that the horse set at the time Because otherwise the quality of work is not satisfactory, the

Rear axle as installed here on this vehicle, what we see here as a wheel scar, was shortened by the guarantor, which was a smaller truck, so that we can get a track width of 1.10 m, the front axle as installed here It also comes from mrcher

E175 the frame is an original iron frame the vehicles are designed in frame construction, i.e. a basic frame and everything is either placed on top of it or hung underneath. Matthias glich is particularly proud of his little technical refinements, as he

Calls them Behind this side of the fairing we have the V-belt reduction from the engine to an angular gear. The angular gear comes from the D032 fertilizer spreader. It was used on the W50. In

Our case, the engines are all long in the direction of travel. This has something to do with it if we work in the Aker knock the oil out of your head, that’s why our engines are positioned lengthways from the bevel gearbox. We have a chain drive behind this panel

That drives the oil pump located here. This vehicle has two pumps installed. This oil pump is only there to operate the cutter bar drive or our attachments A lot of things are driven by oil, which is why we have a pressure circulation connection for

Oil at the back to operate this crop protection sprayer, for example, or as I said, this regulator is installed down here for the meadow drive or for a fertilizer control. The most important element is this regulator This comes from the ZD that used to be used in the design to

Control the advance of the scraper chain. With this we regulate the speeds of the mead bar or the plate speed of the fertilizer spreader or we adjust the pressure range on the crop protection sprayer so that it is not a museum piece Tractor that runs between the fruit trees in the

Garden of the Glies in Poen, that’s basically our t157 as a miniature version, if you can see it from a further distance, it looks like a T57, that’s the r09 modular principle, we now have it in miniature for ourselves recreated and tell us

To make heavy loader work easier by hand, that is, this boom here at the front is a completely self-constructed piece, this square material was originally from conveyor belt systems, it was installed here as an arm,

This part is down here, which is in red from the red version. It was from a wagon unloading machine there were unloaded in the acz railway wagons with bulk goods, i.e. with fertilizer, scrapped at the front . After scrapping, we converted it to function as a slewing ring, i.e.

A rotating device for the entire arm. Originally there was an axle welded here at the front. The whole device was designed as a trailer device, but we quickly noticed every time We’re doing loading work , we’re blocking a tractor and then the idea came up: we’ll build a self-propelled vehicle

On top of it. I’ll take the tool box down so we can see the drive unit. There’s an h65 installed transversely here, which is actually an evaporator from the Kewalde engine plant. We have this engine For better cooling, the cooler comes

From a heating system, it is a heat exchanger from Junkerserme and we have installed a water pump down here to maintain a constant circulation flow, which comes from the vwbus T4. That is actually cooling so that the device is no more than that The evaporator works but

Is actually cooled to save water. Not a simple construction but for real screwdrivers like them nothing is impossible if it makes the work easier. The motor runs at a constant speed of 1500 revolutions and produces 6.5 HP. We have

A caliber reduction here Inside on the oil pump, the oil pump then makes a revolution of about 1200 revolutions, which conveys this oil up here to the control slide. The first unit of the control slide was used to drive the oil motor. Depending on the position of the color valley,

I can vary the amount of oil that goes to the oil motor And this means that I can regulate the speed on the one hand and on the other hand I have the option of

Changing the direction of travel using this completely normal manual gearbox here at the back and another three forward gears that then work out of the manual gearbox at the back via a chain transmission and ideally adapt it to the rear axle Driving short distances is the tractor every time that took time,

There are still those from the emergency homemade tractors from the DDA, some have already ended up at the scrap dealers because they were either broken or no longer needed, but the inhibition threshold is much higher to separate from a tractor that sometimes took two to D years before

It even ran for the first time and in which you can address every screw by name. If you still have a self-made tractor, you won’t give it up so quickly, after all, there is naturally no supply of spare parts There was never a problem with a catalog anyway

And anyone who was able to get all the individual parts for a self-made tractor in the GDR has no problem with it today and that’s why the strange tractors will hopefully still be part of the village scene from Mecklenburg to Thuringia in a few decades
