Busch 54100 H0 Agricultural vehicle Deutz F1M 414

Great help, small price! The water-cooled F1M 414 tractor of the Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz works was built without interruption from 1936 to 1951. He was a "farmer's tractor" or "elfer", as he was affordable for around 2,300 Reichsmark also for smaller farms and farmers. It was so easy for some farmers to mechanize their harvesting and working processes. First production started with a 1-cylinder diesel engine with 11 hp (displacement: 1100 cm3), three-speed transmission and water circulation cooling. The 2.28 meter long 1.53 meter wide tractor had a weight of 1180 kg and could move a maximum towing load of 8 tons – a remarkable performance for the little guy.

The pulley for the drive belt drive allowed the use of a wide range of accessories, such as: Threshing machine, baler, hay and crop conveyors, large grinder, Forage harvester, circular saw, cone spreader, water pump or also various workshop machines. For the first time, smaller farms were also able to take part in the upheaval of mechanization and job facilitation. The use of machinery has made it easier and more efficient to carry out strenuous activities and thus required less human labor, which were not available to a large extent in the war years anyway.

After the war in 1946 production started again and the F1M 414/46 tractor with a 4-speed transmission was on the start and the maximum speed could be increased to 15km/h. From 1950, the engine power could even be raised to 12 hp. A total of 20,000 models were built between 1936 and 1951 (10,340 pieces of the pre-war model and 8,990 of the post-war model).
