Hi,
let's go on with more pics of Lanz Bulldog tractors!
The Lanz Bulldog HL12 (as seen above) was quite a success in the early 1920s. Unfortunately, some owners tried to use the Lanz HL12 for field work. This didn't work. The Lanz Bulldog was too heavy and had to too small wheels. The lack of a transmission didn't improve the situation.
So Lanz developed a tractor espacially for field work:
It was called Lanz HP. Today everybody calls this Lanz "Knicklenker" which means "articulated". As you can tell by the wheels, the Lanz HP was an articulated four wheel drive tractor. It has a single cylinder hot bulb two stroke engine like the Lanz HL12, but it is rated 15hp and is hopper cooled. Displacement is 380 cui. It was built from 1923 to 1926.
Just like the Lanz HL12, the HP had hand operated clutch and no gears to shift. Just one fixed speed. As an articulated four wheel drive tractor the Lanz HP was way ahead of its time. It was extremely expensive. Due to a severe inflation of the German currency in 1923, sales dropped dramatically. Only 723 of this Lanz HP were sold during this period. You can imagine how rare and sought after this model is today!
But hey... no problem at all. You can buy the Lanz HP as a full working replica, just like the HL12. Here it is on the right.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
