Bungartz walk behind tractors -- prewar models |
Oversight of Bungartz walk behind tractors -- prewar models, built from 1934 till 1950 by Bungartz in München, Germany
Bungartz K6, called F70 from 1939. 6 hp Siemens/Bungartz engine, 2 stroke petrol, 1500 rpm,
built from 1934-ca. 1942. Working width is 70 cm. Unlike the Siemens K5, only few of these Bungartz machines have survived. Bungartz made some changes to the original Siemens K5, like steering clutches on both wheel axles for easier steering and a support to facilitate cleaning of the tiller.
The carburettor was a SUM K 12/23.
This is the same model, here the internal construction is shown. Above the cylinder is the
cooling fan, blowing air down the cylinder. This machine has two forward speeds, and no
reverse.
Bungartz H2, 2.25 hp Fichtel&Sachs Stamo 6 petrol engine, 2 stroke, 3000 rpm,
built from 1937 till 1939.
This Bungartz machine is shown in a Belgian leaflet and is assigned Bungartz B4-40. The location of the fuel tank is different from the normal L3 model. It makes one think of the SIMAR C2 tiller which was imported to Germany by Siemens, when they did not make such small tillers theirselves.
This seems to be an early Bungartz L3. The first 125 machines, numbers 2001 till 2125, had the fuel tank fitted on the steering handle.
Bungartz L3, 4.5 hp DKW EL201 petrol engine, 2 stroke, 3000 rpm. Working width is 40 cm. From the 126th machine (number 2126), the fuel tank was fitted above the engine.
2000 Bungartz L3 were made, only a few are known to have survived today.
Bungartz L4 or F55, 6 hp DKW EL301 petrol engine, 2 stroke, 3000 rpm,
built from 1938. Working width is 55 cm.
Bungartz F90, 8.5 hp DKW EL461 engine, two stroke petrol, 3000 rpm,
built from 1939-1946. I know of one of these, located at a collector in Germany.
Bungartz F90, 10.5 hp Ilo E400 engine, two stroke petrol, 3000 rpm,
built from 1944-1950. Several of these are known to exist, some of them even still in use!
