    The three-wheeled Benz-Sendling T 3 motorised plough makes its debut at the DLG (German Agricultural Society) exhibition in Magdeburg and wins a silver medal. The newly established Benz-Sendling Motorpflug GmbH in Berlin is a joint undertaking of Benz & Cie. and Munich-based Motorenfabrik München-Sendling. Production of motorised ploughs takes place at Automobil-und Aviatik AG in Leipzig, in which Benz & Cie. have held an interest since 1915.
As early as 1909 the Motorenfabrik München-Sendling develops the first German farm tractor. In 1919 Benz & Cie., together with the Munich Motorenfabrik München-Sendling forms "Benz-Sendling Motorpflüge GmbH" whose headquarters are in Berlin. Its three-wheel T 3 motorised plough is powered by a chain mounted on its single, large rear wheel.
