The original MBtrac on the way back?

Hallo Robert.

I have translated the most important parts of the article.Wink

MB-trac vender tilbake?

Unimog lever i beste velgåande. I England blir det bygd sprøyter med stjerne i grillen. Og kanskje finst ein ekte Mercedes-traktor på teiknebrettet i Tyskland.

MBtrac on the way back?

Unimog is alive and well. In England (S.C Tractors) are building Self Propelled Sprayers with the three-pointed star in the grill. And maybe there is a genuine Mercedes-tractor on the drawing board in Germany.

Alt håp er ikkje ute for deg som vil titte på ei stjerne mens du køyrer traktor. På øya uti havet, der folk bur tett i tett og snakkar engelsk, blir det bygd ei sjølvgåande sprøyte som heiter Mercedes Benz S-trac. Understellet er frå Unimog. Toppfarten er 64 km/h. Motoren, som tilfredsstiller lastebilkrav, er godkjent etter Euro 5-norma. Transmisjonen har 16 trinn med automatisk skift.
– Dette er sprøyter som vi skreddarsyr til kunden, fortel A.R. Levitt til Maskinbladet. Levitt er sjef for den engelske avdelinga av Mercedes Benz i Newport.

All hope is not out for those who want to look at a star while driving a tractor. On the island out in the sea, where people live close together and speak English, they are building a Self Propelled Sprayer that is called Mercedes-Benz S-trac. The chassis is from a Unimog. The top speed is 64 km/h. The engine, which meets truck requirements, is approved for the Euro 5 emission standard. The transmission has 16 gears with automatic shifting. These are sprayers that is specially made for the customers, says A.R Levitt to Maskinbladet.dk. Levitt is the chief of the English department of Mercedes Benz in Newport.

Ny Merce-tractor i vente?

Vel så interessant er eit lite hint frå Levitt.
– At vi byggjer sjølvgÃ¥ande sprøyter er ikkje noko nytt. Det har vi gjort i 25 Ã¥r. Men Mercedes Benz har byrja Ã¥ interessere seg meir og meir pÃ¥ omrÃ¥det, og rykte seier at der kanskje er ein traktor pÃ¥ veg, seier han til Maskinbladet.

Her i landet har vi jo nyleg sett at Mercedes-importør Bertel O. Steen har engasjert seg sterkt i landbruket gjennom oppkjøpet av A-K maskiner. Om Mercedes sjølve ser det same som Bertel O. Steen, at landbruket er ein fin bransje å rette seg mot, vil i fall det skjer vere temmeleg interessant.

New Mercedes-tractor?

Just as interesting is a little hint from Levitt. -That we are building Self Propelled Sprayers is nothing new. We have been doing that for 25 years. However Mercedes-Benz has started to show more interest in agriculture, and the rumor says that there might be a new Mercedes-tractor on the way, he says to maskinbladet.dk.
Here in Norway we have recently seen the Mercedes-Benz importer Bertel O. Steen has been involved heavily in the agricultural sector through the acquisition of AK-maskiner. (Norwegian agricultural tractor and machinery dealer).

I do find it a bit strange that the news about this came from England. I haven't found any information on German websites yet.
This might just be another rumor, I hope not, but time will tell...Smile

Mercedes-Benz, The Star...
