The new tractor was tested extensively for both agricultural and industrial use. Advertisements had already been placed in the press, and brochures and sales documents had been prepared. Surprisingly, however, the company management suddenly halted the project.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for this was a strategic move: The company management had decided not to include any tractors in the MWM production portfolio. As the further business performance of MWM in subsequent years impressively showed, the associated decision to concentrate on producing diesel engines was a wise one.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"SR-30 tractor\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mwm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SR-30-tractor-steel-wheels-SR-130-tractor-with-rubber-tires.jpg\" alt=\"SR-30 tractor\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Test drives with MWM SR-30 tractor\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mwm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Test-drives-with-MWM-SR-30-tractor.jpg\" alt=\"Test drives with MWM SR-30 tractor\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MWM sold about 500 units of its &#8220;motorhorse&#8221;, the world&#8217;s first tractor with a diesel engine, in five successive versions from 1924 to 1932.
