Not a Cournil, but from Europe.

Oh, I thought UMM was the company that´s built the Cournil?

Twice no.

Cournil made the cars himself and licensed it to UMM, I believe. Funny enough, Heuliez then later build it under license of the Portuguese, from what I read.

I don't know the exact whereabouts of this tractor, but my guess would ge that it is a one-off tractor based on a Picco Dumper. The short wheelbase points this way, the wheels are not from the IFA trucks, rather from the IFA Waran dumper.

grobmotorix

This is definitly not a one-off. I´m sure some of them are still around.

pnegyesi

was this considered as a tractor?

grobmotorix

You may call it a kind of east german Unimog.

pnegyesi

Something like a Multicar?

grobmotorix

It´s something like that, but it´s been built by another VEB/company.

Wendax

Built by a VEB that belonged to IFA?

That is one hard nut to crack. It isn't in any GDR truck/car/tractor book I've looked through. The only similar vehicle I found was the so called "Bornimog", the RTA 0511/60 made by the Institut für Landtechnik, Abt. Schleppertechnik in Potsdam-Bornim. It was further on developed to become the RTA 511, built at first in Traktorenwerk Schönebeck, and later on in the Brandenburger Traktorenwerk. Anything to do with this?

grobmotorix

No; but think military and you´ll find it...
