Mulag MD – carrier vehicles for municipal and embankment mowing technology from Oppenau in the Black Forest: 14-4 and MD 22, 1 to 2 cylinders, 660 to 1,145 cm³
Mulag, based in Oppenau in the Black Forest, specialises in municipal and embankment mowing technology and also built its own small carrier vehicles for this purpose. The MD series with the 14-4 and MD 22 models belongs to these compact carrier tractors, which served as the base for mower booms and other implements on roadside verges and embankments.

The register lists 2 versions here with 1 to 2 cylinders and 660 to 1,145 cm³ displacement, at speeds of up to 3,000 revolutions per minute. Kerb weights range from 1,050 to 1,430 kg, lengths from 3,500 to 3,600 mm, widths from 1,430 to 1,540 mm and heights from 1,970 to 2,020 mm.
For maintaining road embankments and municipal green spaces, the compact, manoeuvrable design of Mulag's carrier vehicles was decisive, allowing work in spots barely accessible to larger standard tractors. Mulag thereby still occupies a niche between the classic farm tractor and a purely municipal machine.
When buying used, the power take-off, mounting interfaces for mower booms and the hydraulic supply deserve particular attention, since these carrier vehicles usually ran continuously with implements attached. Cooling and clutch merit attention given the frequent short-distance and standing loads; spare parts are sourced from workshops specialising in municipal equipment.

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.
