The range of MB-trac vehicles began in 1972 when Mercedes Benz nism to keep the arms raised
produced a new tractor based on the technology of the Unimog, featuring
all-wheel drive, powerful transmission and four large-sized wheels with
a centrally mounted driver cabin. A range of different models were
produced until 1991 when Mercedes Benz left the agricultural business
and the production and development of the MB-trac, now known as the
WF trac was taken over by Werner Forst and Industrietechnik.

he MB-trac 700 K was the smaller of the different type 440 tractors developed with a
power output of 68hp / 80hp and Weise Toys have produced a 1:32nd scale replica which
Tis finished in the communal orange colours. This joins an earlier release of the MB-trac 1100 Above:
The front grill is engineered with a delicate mesh panel,
which was also produced in municipal colours. The model features front and rear 3-point linkages complete with Mercedes Benz logo
that are height adjustable with the rear linkage having a locking mechanism.

Below:
The model comes with a red
triange which connects to the
front linkage and a drawbar which
connects with the rear linkage The tyres have a less aggressive tread pattern
which has been implemented with Continental
branding with the front axle having working
steering. The angular cabin has opening doors
allowing more of the fitted interior to be seen,
finished in a dark brown colour with all controls
and instrumentation replicated.

The front grill is particularly impressive,
implemented with a fine perforated mesh with
the prominent Mercedes Benz logo. Additional
details include rear view mirrors, aerial, amber
beacon and authentic number plate with an
A-frame and drawbar accessories.
