Mercedes-Benz

Before their merger in 1925, Daimler and Benz were independently manufacturing tractors. In 1922, Benz introduced the first mass-produced diesel tractor in the world. Throughout the 1930s, both companies continued to produce tractors. In 1950, Mercedes resumed its involvement in agricultural machinery by acquiring the Boeringer Unimog, a four-wheel-drive vehicle equipped with a power take-off (PTO) and a three-point hitch. The Mercedes-Benz brand reemerged in the tractor market in 1973 with the launch of the MB Trac, a four-wheel-drive tractor that featured three-point hitches at both ends. The design of the MB Trac was sold to Schluter in 1980, and production came to an end in 1991.
