Metallwerk Creußen MWC – small single-cylinder diesels from Upper Franconia: MWC 15 Treff and Unitrak H 19, 681 cm³, 13.2 kW, 950 to 990 kg, lengths 2,450 to 3,300 mm, widths 1,500 to 1,710 mm
Metallwerk Creußen, based in Creußen in Upper Franconia, built small, single-cylinder diesel tractors, represented in the register here by the MWC 15 Treff and the Unitrak H 19. The name MWC stands for Metallwerk Creußen itself, while Unitrak served as a separate model name for a further design from the firm. Both vehicles share the concept of a compact single-cylinder diesel tractor for smaller farms.

The register lists 2 versions with 13.2 kW from single-cylinder engines of 681 cm³, unladen weights of 950 to 990 kg, lengths of 2,450 to 3,300 mm, widths of 1,500 to 1,710 mm and heights of 1,250 to 1,370 mm at a rated speed of 1,800 rpm.
With their low weight and compact build, such small single-cylinder diesels were an alternative to draught animals and larger tractors for smallholdings and special crops in Franconia, where narrow plots and sloped terrain favoured a manoeuvrable, light tractor.
When buying used, check the condition of the single-cylinder diesel engine, especially compression and the injection pump, the tightness of clutch and gearbox, the condition of brakes and steering, and rust on the bodywork and frame; since this is a small manufacturer, parts are mainly sourced through collectors and enthusiasts of classic small tractors.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
