Munich: The number of tractors in the city is increasing – Munich

Incidentally, the new Lamborghini Spire F is now available with independent front suspension. This, the Italian vehicle manufacturer advertises, provides a unique stability control that is normally only available in models in the upper price range. Turbo with intercooler, Power Shuttle with Sense Clutch and electrohydraulically switchable PTO are standard in all-wheel-drive vehicles anyway. Nevertheless, you will rarely see such a Lamborghini Spire F cruising up and down Leopoldstrasse or parking in Maximilianstrasse. Because like the top model Spire S / V VRT, which is even equipped with a PTO, it is designed for driving through vineyards and orchards. The most powerful engine version of 113 hp would of course not be absolutely necessary for this.

Nevertheless, it cannot be ruled out to see a Lamborghini Spire F (or S / V VRT) here, because there are again an increasing number of tractors, tractors, tractors, bulldogs in the city – whatever you may call the vehicles, which in official German run as agricultural and forestry tractors. The number of registered tractors in Munich has been increasing again since 2016: the Federal Motor Transport Authority registered 2,737 tractors in the current year. After all, Munich is still a village.

Whereby: At the last count five years ago, only 125 farms were found in the city, like that Southwest newspaper service (ZdS) has researched. That would result in a fleet of around 22 Bulldogs per farm. The city dweller asks: What do you need them all for?

Well, the ZdS suspects, on the one hand, capital investments behind the increase: A fully restored Lanz D 9506, built in 1954, is said to have recently been offered for 95,000 euros. On the other hand, there is probably also a hobby. Sounds good when you can say you have a Lamborghini in the barn. Or a Porsche. In addition to the Fendts and John Deeres, Porsches once actually plowed the beet and potato fields in this country. In contrast to its Italian rival, the German car manufacturer stopped its tractor production long ago, as early as 1963. But with their round, sleek bonnet, the Porsches are real gems. The P 111 L built in 1956, for example: air-cooled single-cylinder engine, twelve hp, eight gears (four forwards, four backwards), top speed 16.5 km / h. A dream, there is no other way to put it.
