Those gun ports in the side are too low for the Ehrehadt

Ivan,

That's a great picture! I have to make another Ehrhardt model...

The circle with the triangle should indicate that this vehicle belonged to the Don Cossacks. It's also seen on the Austin 1st series "Medveditsa", used by the Don Cossacks.

all the best,

German "Umlaut" make sometime very different.

If we speak under weather:

a) Schwül = english "heat"
b) Schwul =  english "gay" biggrin

And here is a new "bomb-picture"!!!
 Ehrhardt M 1915 in service of Russian White army!! Name "Colonel Bezmolitvenny"
On turrel wroten: "Captured 16 september 1918 by Varlamovka". It is East-Ukraine, captured by Reds or by ukrainian nationalits (Petlura army). I don't know, as the Ehrhard comming from Germans to Reds or to ukrainians.

Hit your Num Lock key, hit Alt and keep it pressed, then type '129', and you'll see a 'ü' appear! Sometimes it is usefull if you taught PC-novices how to use MS-DOS in a grey and distant past biggrin

It is incorrect to say that all the heavy artillery tractors were designed with huge rear wheels. The last Bussing model introduced in 1918 had equal sized wheels and a four wheel drive as did the Magirus 70 PS. The size ratio between the front and rear of the Daimler 92/170 PS is much less extreme than some of the tractors. Incidentally the rear wheels on the Bussing and the Benz apear identical whilst the latter appears to have the same design front wheels as the Durkopp so there may have been some interchangebility between some models.

Here a pic of the Dürkopp out of the Oswald book (Motorbuch Verlag). You will note the enormous size of the vehicle, compared with a two seater.

Thank you, Ivan.  Unfortunately my keyboard does not have an Umlaut selection.   I believe the majority of viewers here are English speaking, and thought my spelling would better facilitate their understanding.
I encounter the same challenge when writing my own name; Muller, and  must insert the "e" , hence Mueller.

But the rear wheels on the Durkopp and Deutz were quite distinctive (and identical) with retractable spade spuds and a broad delta end to the spokes

I've attached a pic of the 80ps Durkopp as accepted by the Imperial Army.    You will note the "motorwinde" or wench, located centrally beneath the vehicle. ( this tool is more clearly seen in the topic's original pic which illustrates the Durkopp slightly "belly-up".    The opject beneath the radiator sited by Ken is actually a cable guide.  The wench cable extended forward and passed through this guide when in use.  ( Look closely and you will note small upper, and lower rollers in the guide bracket.)
On 30/ 10/ 18, the Army had 91 Durkopp in service .

All traktors accepted were designed with the large rear traction wheels.   They  possessed good power to weight ratio at the sacrifice of moderate road speed. 

The Lanz traktor in the above post is a comparitively rare example of the 1914 80ps version.   The 100ps M1917 Lanz was photographed far more often, and has been posted in this forum frequently.

I'll see what I can do re photos in the am. In the meantime I'm begining to suspect that the original photo is of the Deutz. Reasons  it had a spindle mounted winch admidships wheras the Durkopp had a winch below the gear box (and driven directly from the gearbox). The bonnet top was less rounded than the Durkopp and the bodywork around the drivers cab was less rounded than the Durkopp. The rear wheels appear identical both had retractable blades (very much like one of the first British military traction engines in the mid 19th century)

BTW Deutz are still making tractors today - lawn tractors!

I wrote in the thread "Question about another German Zugwagen"thatI'd like to see other photos of the Dürkopp-Artillerie-Kraftschlepper. Et voilà, here they are. Thank you for posting wuestehu and ken musgave. For me it would be interesting to see the photo in "The Observers Army Vehicles Directory to 1940". May be you could scan it for me?

By the way here are some good pictures of German Zugkraftwagen

However the Durkopp does not appear to have had an admidships winch! The Deutz did. But the front wheels on the original photo in this thread photo do have plates on the outside which also appear on other Durkopp photos. I can only find one Deutz photo and this has no plates but other wise it looks more like that photo.

The Observers Army Vehicles Directory to 1940 (published 1974) has a reasonable photo of the Durkopp and also of the Deutz which looks quite similar (identical rear wheels) more so than the Bussing (both models)

That was one of it's functions, yes.    There is a common series of pics showing a KD1 doing just that with a Krupp 8,8cm Flak.    The wench and cable were also ideal for extracting the traktor itself when mired. ( It was driven off the final drive much like the power-take-off found on early American tractors.)    The large rear wheels were to help in negotiating shell holes, and shattered trench systems. 
I've seen only a few pics of the Durkopp(  only 2 in my collection ), though they were produced in modest numbers.   I would suspect this is a post-armistice snapshot of a vehicle that suffered issues with it's left rear wheel and was simply abandoned during the retrograde movement back to Germany.

I was told that the reel and cable below the truck were used to pull the gun back from its battery position. Any confirmation?

Upon closer examination,  I must stand corrected on the identity of this schlepper.  It is not a Bussing, but rather a Durkopp.  I appologize for not looking more closely the first time.  Both vehicles had the large rear wheels, and while the Bussing was fitted with an enclosed driver/crew compartment, the Durkopp was not.    Sorry for the error, and allow me to add these vehicles were of simple sheet-metal construction, and not armoured.

This put a considerable demand on Germany's limited engine production. It was one reason why the ambitious plan to produce some 3-400 copies of the British Mk IV tank (devised in Dec1917 in response to 1st Cambrai) had to be abandoned as the heavy artillery tractors had priority for suitable engines and Ludendorf wanted to keep it that way.

I agree. You can make out the small rounded leaves on the tree to the right.

The first pic is indeed an 80ps Bussing.  Ludendorf's 1917 Program called for the motorization of all heavy artillery batteries, and various manufacturers participated.   The war ended before the program was complete, however.  For example,  of the 120 ordered,  Bussing was able to deliver 109 by 30 October 1918.  They served exclusively on the Western Front.

Prototypes of the Schupo-Sonderwagen only became ready in 1922 (Daimler and Ehrhardt in April/May, Benz in August/September), thus procurement cannot be assumed before 1923. - That would perhaps place the SdKfz 3 in the same timeframe.

The first vehicle is a Büssing artillery tractor, however, a variant where the front winch is replaced by a central one. Palm trees can indicate the Balkans theatre or Palestine.

That's a post-war (1919) Sd.Kfz.3 Mannschaftswagen, the Armoured Personnel Carrier version of the Daimler DZVR "Schupo-Sonderwagen" Armoured Car for the Schutzpolizei (German policeforce for internal security duties).
