The history of the Pm Trac stretches back more than two decades. Following an initial presentation of the machine concept at the ZLF 2004, the Pm Trac 2355 was unveiled at Agritechnica in Hanover in 2005, and production began. Even back then, Pfanzelt had a clear vision: to develop a versatile system tractor specifically tailored to the requirements of professional users.
A defining feature from the outset was the centrally positioned cab with a swivelling driver’s seat. Combined with flexible attachment and mounting options, this resulted in a vehicle concept suitable for a wide variety of tasks.
In 2013, the Pm Trac III marked the next major step in its development. For the first time, the Pm Trac was fitted with a vehicle chassis developed by Pfanzelt. Over the years, the system tractor has undergone continuous further development – with the aim of tailoring even more components specifically to the high demands of professional use.
With the Generation 38, this development has reached a new level. The vehicle is now based on a tractor chassis developed almost entirely by Pfanzelt. This includes, amongst other things, the continuously variable, power-split variaDRIVE transmission and the planetary-driven rear axle.
Three engine options, delivering 205, 253 and 292 PS, allow the machine to be adapted to a wide variety of operational requirements. The centrally positioned XXL comfort cab with a swivelling driver’s seat ensures optimum visibility of the machine and its attachments.
Versatility remains a key feature: Several mounting and attachment points, as well as the Pfanzelt System Attachment (PSA), make it possible to quickly equip the Pm Trac for a variety of tasks. From professional forestry work with a winch and skidding crane, through operations with forestry cutters and chippers, to landscape maintenance, a single machine can thus handle a wide range of tasks.
In use with our customers
With the delivery of the 100th Generation 38 Pm Trac, the latest generation has now reached a special milestone. The anniversary machine was handed over to our Swiss importer, Rappo, this week and is now on its way to its future place of operation in Switzerland.
A great deal has changed technically since the first Pm Trac models in 2005 up to today’s Generation 38. The basic idea, however, has remained the same: to develop a machine that combines maximum versatility with the demands of professional use.
For us, therefore, 100 Generation 38 Pm Tracs are more than just a number. They represent the continuous development of a machine concept, manufacturing expertise from the Allgäu region and, above all, the trust of our customers and partners.
From the vehicle chassis to final assembly: the Pm Trac is manufactured at our plant in Rettenbach am Auerberg in the Allgäu region. A high degree of vertical integration and the in-house development of key components enable us to design the vehicle specifically to meet the demands of professional use.
