One of my customers made a tractor for his Daughter.

One of my industrial customers has been building pulling tractors for many years. His daughter pulls this one it's a real family effort and they have done very well.

I could be adopted real easy. Black Knight would sound good. ;D

Me thinks I brought the wrong tractor.

;D

Is that 5 V8s in that thing? Im not well versed in that type of machine but it looks as much like a tractor as a nascar looks "stock."

That thing just looks plain slow :D

The tractor only weighs 7700 lbs and is about 12000 hp. Very impressive work done in his own shop.

Does it come in a 4WD model?

I'm not so sure them front wheels would do anything if they had power to em anyhow :D :D

Hmmm..... very impressive but since they are calling it a tractor you have to wonder how many passes up and down a field it would make before running out of fuel :D

"Tractor" has the same Latin root as "Traction". The Latin word (trahere) means "to drag".

I'd say that machine can definitely drag ;D.

Ohio_Bill there used to be some folks from that area (i cant remember name of the town) that pulled a international superstock diesel that was named the black widow and was wondering if might be same family ???

That would be a hassle to clime on and off all day setting chokers.

I did not know that. You learn something new everyday. :P

That is awesome! Its only 480 to 600 times the horse power of my Farmall Super A. I think you would only have to set chokers once a day and you could have a lot of logs back at once Ford_man. :D

Kbeitz · January 30, 2016, 08:48:51 PM

Guess that could out pull my 4 wheel drive home made junk...

thecfarm · January 30, 2016, 08:50:18 PM

Now that's a tractor!! Where have you been hiding that????? ;D

Gearbox · January 31, 2016, 12:00:27 AM

Brucer the word tractor was first used by the Hart Parr company in 1906 when they hooked old # 1 to a plow .

Brucer · January 31, 2016, 01:08:24 AM

:P

Apparently, it was earlier than that. In 1903 Hart & Parr combined the words "traction" and "power" to create the word "tractor". That's interesting because it shows exactly how the word was derived.

timberlinetree · January 31, 2016, 08:45:56 AM

It would be a hay day having that! Its powered by a v8+v8+v8?How many does he have hidden in there?

Magicman · January 31, 2016, 05:55:04 PM

I see 5 intakes, but with that rig, who knows. On Kbeitz's rig, I see one "not-V8".

21incher · January 31, 2016, 06:47:53 PM

That looks real pretty, but I like the antique pulls that we have every summer in my town. They all are 1950 or older and the drivers are from 8 to 80 years old.. Here is a short video and some pics of last years pull.
