The Prussian Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Does someone have informations about this carrier? I have seen another photo with german soldiers of WWI, so it must be a vehicle of that period, but I don´t know which country did build it. I assume, it was a carrier for bigger artillery grenades.

E Williams Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Looking at the track and roller combination, it reminds me of a French configuration. Vickers and Renault both had track vehicles that were similar. Is it self propelled? The French had a pull behind track trailer.

The Prussian Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Brilliant! Thank you very much! But as I´ve read in the article below ( http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/antique-machinery-history/ot-crawler-tractors-196276/index15.html#post1497873 ), it´s not russian, but american, right?
