The Krawler Model 2 is a light-duty tractor from Puge-Tatar. It was produced by Weisstwuste-Woline.
Development
Tractor designers at Weisstwuste-Woline wanted to develop a special tractor for the harsh climates of the Kulge desert, where sand was often too soft for conventional wheeled tractors like the Model U could not operate well. The completed prototype for a tracked crawler tank was finished in 2060, but the Puge-Tatar Independence War caused delays in production until 2062. Dubbed the Model 2, the new tractor was an instant hit and would go on to be produced for over 80 years.
Design
Featuring a two-cylinder V engine, and powered by two 0.625m drive sprockets, the Model 2 came in at just over 4 tons. Though slightly heavier than the normal light-duty tractor, its ability to tow loads much bigger than itself was extremely useful. With a top speed of 4 m/s in forward and reverse, the tractor was robust and reliable and well liked by farmers. The long front hood held two headlights and the radiator, while the fuel tank sat in the center behind the engine. Seating for one was in the form of a large operator's chair, and a storage bin was installed behind him for tools. The basic Krawler Model 2 had implement attachments at the rear for a universal hitch, which allowed for vertical travel of the docking port. This allowed the Model 2 to attach to any implement, trailer, or vehicle and made the design very adaptable. Several implements such as the Boom Pole were designed specifically for the Model 2, though would see extensive use on other tractors of the time period as well.
Variants
Many upgrades and design improvements were added in the life of the Model 2. One such noted upgrade was the special Dozer Blade attachment which allowed the tractor to function as a bulldozer.
In 2163, Weisstwuste-Woline was aquired by Logi Motor Company and the Model 2 was discontinued to prioritize sales of the Logi Model D crawlers.
