Porsche tractors for sale

In the 1930s Dr. D.F. Porsche had the idea to produce a “volk-schlepper” or people’s tractors that would be extraordinarily reliable while being at the same time efficient in its operation. The first models produced were gasoline powered, but that quickly changed to the diesel model. The diesel would be the engine for the people's tractors until production was halted in 1963.

Much like the engineers of today, engineers in the 1930s had little respect for the mechanical abilities of farmers. This is shown by the unique design of the hydraulic coupling between the engine and transmission of the Porsche-Diesel engines used in all the tractors from the beginning to the end. The engineers didn't think that farmers would be able to operate a clutch as was needed to shift gears. They were wrong, but the result was an excellent system that was easier to operate than most.
