Is there something I am not "getting" in the language translation?

Traffic Tractor?????

Would that mean a "Road Tractor" or "street legal"?

Was wondering the same thing. I can only find reference to a D8531 34hp tractor which was produced from 1935-1955, but no 8532???? Have no idea what 'Traffic' might refer to.

put italicized text here

and I stand corrected. That model number refers to having a roof on it.

Hi,

The term "traffic tractor" should indeed read " road tractor".

It has wings/ fenders to permit it to be driven by road and and to haul trailers around towns. Its road speed would be increased accordingly.

The agricultural version has no wings and would only be permitted to drive to its farm or from Field to field.

The wings would be to prevent injury to pedestrians and keep road spray down.

I think the use of the term traffic tractor is to differentiate between this version and the previous version with rubber tyres.
