| Field
Artillery Tractors, also known as gun tractors were part of the CMP range from the outset. Both manufacturers built them using a 3-ton version of the short wheelbase chassis fitted with winch, 2 speed transfer case, 20" wheels and a body to accommodate both the gun crew and a supply of ready ammunition. Typically they were used to tow the 25 pounder howitzer and limber, but also towed a variety of artillery pieces including the 17 pounder. |
