This exceptional example of a John Deere Lanz tractor from 1966 epitomises the unique connection between the traditional German Lanz brand from Mannheim and the American John Deere Group after the takeover in 1956.
The characteristic green paint with the striking yellow rims shows the unmistakable John Deere colour scheme, while the robust construction still clearly shows the German Lanz roots.
The visible patina and natural rust tell of decades of faithful work in the fields and give this historic implement an authentic, nostalgic look.
Particularly fascinating is the combination of German engineering and American industrial power, which is perfectly expressed in this model. The clearly recognisable "JOHN DEERE-LANZ" lettering makes this machine a rare testimony to the company's history.
This mural is perfect for agricultural machinery enthusiasts, John Deere collectors, fans of German engineering or anyone who appreciates authentic vintage charm.
A piece of living technical history that brings the atmosphere of past agricultural eras into any room and stimulates conversations about tradition and innovation.
