O&K made tractors from 1954 on. Rare in Holland. I would love to have one of those Eicher Geratetrager. And yes one of those Unimogs.
Do you folks know why there are green and red Porches? Beside that brand also Hanomag and Schluter used two colours.
Two colours (or even more) are used for tractors for the german market and for export markets.
For example, in the early 1950ies, Hanomags were painted dark green for Germany home market, and bright red for some export countries. Later on, the green changed a little bit and later again, and someday, the red export colour was dropped.
Porsche/Allgaier had the same system I'm told.
For as far as I know, O&K did make tractors even earlier. They made a tractor in and just before the 2nd WW whith standard air compressor on board and pressure tanks on the rear mudguards. Seen a picture in a book lately.
The Green porsche is an Allgaier its made from ca 1952 to 1956 from a construction by Porsche in 1956 Porsche started with the same hood making tracktors 1956 to 1963 for 8 years they produced tractors
