Fuchs F 301 Excavator w. Shovel, blue/red

"In 1950, Fuchs introduced its first excavator, the D1. The Type D3 was a further development and followed in 1952. This excavator already had its own drive with a 4-speed gearbox. The F 301 model was produced from the end of 1957 and represented a further and important step in development. Thanks to numerous technical innovations and high performance, the F 301 quickly became a bestseller. For decades, the F 301 dominated the scene on many construction sites in Germany and Europe, where it quickly earned a reputation as the ""jack of all trades"". The F 301 therefore also played an important role as a construction helper in the post-war period. The F 301 could even be found on construction sites overseas and in the Middle East. Due to its progressiveness and versatility, the F 301 was the model for numerous subsequent generations of excavators. Production of the F 301 was not discontinued by the Fuchs company until 1978."
