The water-cooled F1M 414 tractor from Klockner-Humboldt-Deutz was built continuously from 1936 to 1951. Known as the \"farmer's tractor\" or \"Elfer,\" it was a household name, as its price of around 2,300 Reichsmarks made it affordable even for smaller farms and farmers. This made it easier for some farmers to mechanize their harvesting and other work processes. Initially, production started with a 1-cylinder diesel engine producing 11 hp (1100 cc displacement), a three-speed gearbox, and water-cooled operation. The tractor, measuring 2.28 meters long and 1.53 meters wide, had a curb weight of 1180 kg and could pull a maximum trailer load of 8 tons – a remarkable feat for such a small machine. The pulley for the drive belt allowed for the use of a wide variety of attachments, such as: threshing machines, balers, hay and crop conveyors, large mills, forage harvesters, circular saws, log splitters, water pumps, and various workshop machines. This made it possible for smaller farms to participate in the mechanization and labor-saving revolution for the first time. The use of machinery allowed strenuous tasks to be performed more efficiently and easily, thus requiring less human labor, which was already scarce during the war years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the war, in 1946, production resumed, and the F1M 414\/46 tractor with a 4-speed transmission was launched, increasing its top speed to 15 km\/h. From 1950 onward, the engine power could even be increased to 12 hp. Between 1936 and 1951, over 20,000 models were built (10,340 of the pre-war model and 8,990 of the post-war model).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rust-brown tractor with steel wheels offers excellent traction on soft ground, which is advantageous for plowing and other heavy field work. Steel tires are also more durable and longer-lasting. The tractor can also be used to compact and level loose soil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduct Safety\u003cbr\u003eScale and true-to-life miniature model for adult model railroaders and collectors.","brand":"Busch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43071496224831,"sku":"BUS-54106-PRE","price":6.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/7461\/7663\/files\/477101_c.jpg?v=1775544520","url":"https:\/\/factorydirecthobbies.com\/products\/preorder-busch-ho-54106-1936-1951-deutz-f1m-414-farm-tractor-with-steel-wheels-assembled-brown","provider":"Factory Direct Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
