What Is Your Dream Tractor?

[Revoltingest]

If you don't have a dream tractor, then think of a dream riding
lawnmower, truck, or other piece of working machinery.
One rule: No cars or motorcycles, exotic or otherwise.

My dream tractor is the 22 hp Goold Shapley & Muir, with
its twin opposed cylinder, hopper cooled sideshaft engine.
I'll never own one....too spendy. But I have a portable
version of that engine.

Here is one running. Great sound.
(It's a tank cooled version, instead of
hopper cooled, so it has a radiator up front.)

My learner would be the "unstyled" Farmall F12.

Here's the world's largest tractor:

But for some reason, it's in Montana and not in Texas where one might expect it to be.

They don't make 'em like that any longer


And for tractor its styling looks functional if not pretty

"Unstyled" refers to the period before sheet metal
began looking modern....

The IHC Mogul is a very reliable & simple engine.
This is the tractor for you....

I blame it on British schools.
