so cool! Miniart is by far the most imaginative company. Usually they have about a dozen of differents variants, so I am courious what other versions they will bring in the future. Assume that the German Wehrmacht has also used them?

Certainly did, mostly Luftwaffe I'd guess for moving bomb trollies and aircraft around. "Wheeled Vehicles of the Wehrmacht" (Ed Chris Ellis) shows three different types of tractor, including with rubber road tyres and tracks. They don't seem to have Sdkfz numbers as they are standard commercial types (O).

Hi, Great news. Looking forward to a version on tracks and also the tracked version. They were also badged as John Deere towards the end of their production run. Regards jason

The vehicle is commonly known as "Lanz Bulldog" over here. So is the term Bulldog generic for any farm tractor. Brief history on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanz_Bulldog Would be cool to have sound module since the sound of the vehicle is unique. BTW Luftwaffe Bulldogs had a hardtop attached.

This is awesome! There is a picture in Hell's Gate of a bunch of German vehicles stuck in the mud trying to escape and there is one of these pulling another vehicle out of the mud. I had no idea what it was. Being in the Ukraine, I assumed it was an appropriated local vehicle, but now I know. And I can even build a model of it!
