Does anyone owns a Porsche Tracktor like this

I would love to have one

I think Wayne does.

One of our PCA members brought a couple to RPM a few years ago. They actually used one to help pull a stuck semi truck out of the mud in our host's yard!

My father in law owns a few...
1957 Junior Tractor
1959 Standard Tractor
He has one more but it's in boxes waiting to be made whole again :) ahaha

Junior, Super and.....what..... an "S"?

No, that's a Honda minivan.

I'm going to good old Germany this summer, and I know that at least 4 farmers in my home town ouwned one. I'm working on it.

They are pretty pricey, no surprise. And are pitifully under powered. At 14 HP my garden tractor has more power. Here is a link to the Porsche tractor registry. ( no kidding!)

Buy the Deere instead.

There is one on ebay now.

I met a guy on a train in Germany in 2004. We started a polite conversation but nothing car related. To this day I don't know why but he opened his billfold and showed me a picture of a Porsche tractor. I got kind of excited because we had just returned from the Porsche factory the day before so maybe my aura was a little Porsche heavy.
So we spent the next hour talking about his tractors and my Porsches.
My wife still rolls her eyes when I tell that story.
He works for Die Bahn. Nicest guy in the world.
If you would like his contact I can forward it to you.
We all have passions.

Wonder how that would look with Fuchs on it. Hmmm....

fair number of pics on various threads

do a search on tractor to find them - be sure not to mis-spell it as the search engine does not do word forms, alt. spellings like some do

That's a 3 cylinder Super model. They cane in Junior, Standard, Super and Master size. 1 to 4 cylinders. Air cooled diesel. I'd put my Standards up against any similar sized tractor of the same era as far as power.
I'm thinking about doing a tractor pull this summer.
If you have an actual use for a tractor, they are quite useful. They have a ton of features that were way ahead of their time.

That's one Porsche that could definitely use a roll bar and harness. I'll guarantee you small tractors like that kill way more people than 911s.

Last summer at the Parade here in Portland, Vic Elford and George Follmer cruised around on two of them. There are some pics in the gallery on here. Here are the ones that I took.

Do they make 32" Fuchs? :) At least the rear fenders are well filled out, and...................
......and rothaus! Glad you caught your booboo, I was gonna be all over that one! :p

I've got friends who enjoy collecting and restoring antique tractors. We take them for spins around the farm grounds sometimes. I finally figured out what a tractor is. it's a motor and transmission and rear axle......with a seat and a steering wheel and a fuel tank bolted on.
