The restored MB-trac is now on display at the Unimog-Museum.
Many decades ago, it rolled across the field where the Unimog-Museum now stands today. Now the third MB-trac ever to roll off the production line is returning to its origins after an extensive restoration. As part of the “Start your torque” initiative by Mercedes-Benz Trucks, three trainees from Unimog service partner Schmahl Landtechnik have brought this legend back to life.
Built in Gaggenau.
The MB-trac 65/70 heralded a new era in the 1970s. Produced in Gaggenau, Baden, it embodied the technological transition to modern agricultural machinery. With its robust design, all-wheel drive and universal applicability, it soon became a must-have for agricultural work.
After years of great popularity, the vehicle concept was eventually overtaken by newer models. Production ceased in the 1990s, and the MB-trac was forgotten – but not by everyone.
