1938-1941

Known as the tractor ahead of its time the UDLX was a dual purpose tractor. The general idea behind the tractor was that a farmer could work in his field all week and then clean up the machine and head into town that weekend. When operating as a tractor the UDLX had a top speed of 25 mph, but when in automobile model it could reach nearly 40 mph.

Only about 125 of these special M-M “UDLX” tractors were built, even though the company made a big advertising effort. Back in 1938, money was hard to come by, and the $1,900 list price was hard to sell against the $1,000 for a John Deere or Farmall. With this model, M-M offered the first production tractor with a cab. It included such features as a radio, heater, defroster, and windshield wiper. The idea was a forerunner of things to come, but production ended in 1941.
