Piet Peeters collection of Lanz tractors, 120 of them


Lanz Bulldog were one cylinder and durable, ran on everything, even on used oil, and was indestructible.

Made by Heinrich Lanz between 1921 and 1955 in Mannheim. When taken over by John Deere, they were painted green. But before then the red and white Bulldogs were used by the circus and fairground. Most used by farmers blue or unpainted.

The oldest in the collection 1923, but his favorite is the one with those big swamp wheels used in the rice fields and there are only three in the world.
