What many people don't know is that Porsche has built more vehicles where the driver could feel the wind through his hair: tractors.
The basis of that concept was laid when the German Boven Baas AH ordered a Volkswagen and a… in 1937. To develop a folk tractor.
In 1950 Allgaier started under license from Porsche with the ap17. which then cost 4450DM. The machines were offered under the addition 'System Porsche'
The now recognized Porsche tractors now have an enthusiastic crowd of followers as do their sporty family members.
A challenging project costs between the 1500-2500. A topper can already earn 15.000 euros.
And driving too fast with your Porsche is then finally no longer an option. That way you will earn it back automatically.
The Porsche diesels are great machines, a beautiful detail is the hydro coupling, which makes it possible that when the tractor gets stuck behind a hoist while plowing, the engine keeps running in freewheel. You can also use this if you brake to stop, then you do not have to depress the clutch pedal, the engine keeps running, the brake is released and the tractor continues to run.
We've had them all, the 1, 2, 3 and 4 cylinder, an 1 and 4 have remained and are used daily by Jacquet-Events.
