**Requested by PlanesOfOld**
This is my first tractor built from a request. Exciting, no? Anyway, this is the Lanz Bulldog. He didn't have a preference to which type he wanted, so I just sort of generalized it. I hope he didn't want the fancy one with the cab and fenders.
The Lanz Bulldog was a tractor manufactured by Heinrich Lanz AG in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Production started in 1921 and various versions of the Bulldog were produced up to 1960. John Deere purchased Lanz in 1956 and started using the name "John Deere-Lanz" for the Lanz product line. A few years after the Bulldog was discontinued the Lanz name fell into disuse. The Lanz Bulldog was one of the most popular German tractors, with over 220,000 of them produced in its long production life. The name "Bulldog" is widely used in Germany as a synonym for tractors even today, especially in Bavaria.
Throttle and VTOL 100% to start. You must throttle up right away or it will roll back into the rut in the wheel and it won't get anywhere. This is an extremely slow tractor with a top speed of 6 miles per hour but it usually only makes 4-5. I couldn't fix it without compromising the looks and stability, so you'll just have to live with it. Yaw to steer.

43.9k PlanesOfOldYeah it's like the only commonly used Stirling engine powered tractor lol apparently their popularity was caused by the engine that could apparently run for days, they sound so Mutcg like one of my favourite planes, the polokarpov po-29.3 years ago

16.2k LordofLego@PlanesOfOld Yeah. I've seen videos of them running. They're pretty cool. I've always wanted to see one in real life, though.9.3 years ago

16.2k LordofLego@nickasaurusrex Good that you got it to work. I used to use all high, but I changed the physics to low so I could fly Scriefer's Frogfoot and I was too lazy to turn it back. I've only had lag once since, so there's smething to that, though.9.3 years ago

16.2k LordofLego@PlanesOfOld The plane will go well with this tractor, then. The technical term you were looking for is "hot-bulb". I forget now how it works, but it's pretty complicated. Being in America, these are as rare as gold dog crap, so I've never seen one in real life. Someday I will. Someday...9.3 years ago
