This home-built tractor was constructed using key components from a 1929 Tatra 12 passenger car, with additional parts from a Fiat 126P "Maluch." The original Tatra was built as a "removable-roof limousine" that could convert into a cabriolet. Tatra produced about 7,525 of these vehicles between 1926 and 1934. The custom tractor conversion, including new bodywork, was completed in the 1980s. This exhibit showcases the builder's exceptional technical skill in extensively modifying a passenger car into a functional small tractor. The machine remains operational with a working hydraulic system and has been loaned to the museum by Michael Tatarčík of Ostrava.
