The inspector general of artillery, Archduke Leopold Salvator, had his own ideas about mechanical transport. Having a mechanical background, he had already patented his own design of four-wheel drive system. This used a complex central differential and diagonal shafts to each wheel. Skoda constructed a 40 bhp example named 'Lion', although its four-wheel steering was so heavy that the steering wheel had to be made large enough to allow two men to haul on it.

The first large production contract for the military, was the M 08 of 1908. Wolf approached Eduard Fischer, managing director of Austro-Daimler, and his engineer Porsche to provide a dozen tractors for towing large mortars. These were of similar size to and developed from the M 06 design, but with significant improvements. The first of these was a new engine, of twice the power. Although intended as tractor units, they also had a wooden load-carrying body at the rear. This was made deeper than on the M 06, with the top edge sloping downwards to the rear.  The overall silhouette of the tractor gave rise to its name of 'Robbe' or Seal.

The engine was Austro-Daimler's own design for an inline-six of 13,854 cc and giving a power of 80 bhp. The cylinders were cast, in typical fashion for the time, as three pairs of non-monobloc cylinders with sidevalves.

Following Robert Wolf's influence, each vehicle was fitted with its own drum winch under the nose, which could be used to climb slopes too steep for the solid rubber tyres to grip on. One of the first batch was also equipped as a recovery vehicle, with a large winch on the rear deck, carrying 1,000 feet of cable.

Although well-received by the military, this whole new type of military vehicle was far from perfected as yet, particularly for its four-wheel drive system and the difficulty of driving it.
