Stuttgart, May 02, 2003
The OE agricultural tractor chugged into the limelight at the 1928 International Motor Show (IAMA) and on to its buyer in May that year. It was vastly superior to its contemporary competitors in terms of economic efficiency, but in engineering terms, too, it was one of the most matured design of the 1920s. The OE incorporated all the experience gained in decades of engine and agricultural machinery development.
