After the war the demand for tractors was high and lots of companies wanted in on the action. Other trucks were also marketed with rear PTO's and hitches including the Dodge Power Wagon, IH Scout, and Land Rover. In all cases the limitations of adapting a relatively light-duty vehicle as a tractor proved to be impractical for most uses. The jeep was by far the most popular of these but problems such as lack of truly low gears, a PTO whose speed and direction of rotation followed that of the selected transmission gear, and generally light-duty components diminished its practicality. The original Unimog was designed during this same time period (mid- to late-40's) and was more successful since they designed from the start with "tractor functions" as a primary objective and let the "truck functions" follow along. (All the above mentioned vehicles had it the other way around and just scabbed tractor features onto an existing truck.) Even so, the Unimog still didn't become very popular as a farm tractor outside of its native Germany. But, few would disagree that it was/is by far the most successful blend of truck and tractor.
