Nice tractor! I like the little fenders. I would get some but with the clay around here they'd be a bigger pain than they're worth.

Welcome, are the fenders and canopy for road driving? Something you have to have to drive on the highway?

Hi,

reason of the cab and the fenders: Farming in Germany is also transportation business. We have to haul our sugar-beets,
our wheat take to plant by our self, cause of the short distances. We use Trailers 2axle up to 18000 kg, 2 behind a tractor or 3 axles up to 22000 kg for transportation. We have most very short distances to our fields, and lot of these ways are going on official streets, and we won't like to much dirt at the tractors. Fenders You'll see on nearly every german Tractor, also the cab. The Dieteg-Cab is only in use on the older ones. You must know, the modern Tractors have cabs with heating or airconditioning like You know in the states.

I was near your Aachen area when I was bought 8 or 9. We went to a theme park called PhantasiaLand. I first I thought is was in Koln but after serching on the net I found it was in Bruhl which is near Koln. My mom is from a town south east of Frankfurt. The town is Kleinkrotzenburg. My god parnets are from Lammerspiel.

Hope the weather turns for the better to harvest your crops.

Take care.....
