Dang! 😲
Thxs...
It looks like it was made from a log loader or big loader chassis.
I thought it was a Lamborghini.
They are custom made with a 50 ton or so dump truck rear end. V16 Detroit engine making 1100 Hp. The computer in the cab can guide the tractor with 80 foot tool bar behind. Impressive.
I know a farmer out in OK panhandle. He has gps steering on his new tractor. He uses it to grow feed corn . He plants by the section. That’s 640 acres. He still has to turn the tractor at the end of the field. It doesn’t turn its self. The gps just makes straight rows.
Most still plant corn in circles. Easier to irrigate.
AG Leader makes an auto steer unit that clamps to the steering column of any tractor new or old.
—”The gps just makes straight rows.”
A guy I worked with put up a corn maze.
IIRC they made a GIS file and hired a service to do the work.
I was under the impression the operator just kept an eye out for wet spots and other possible problems?

Some type of LARGE articulated loader.
A full custom chassis costs extra $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
You are correct. It was a Lambo.
You are correct. It was a Lambo.
With tires that large, they might only be inflated to around 10 psi. Not much more pressure than a man’s footprint. (36,000 lbs / [8 tires x 30” wide x 20”? contact front-to-back in the dirt] = 7.5 psi ... but make it 10 to keep it from being bouncy) FWIW ... I don’t drive tractors ... but I did wear out my John Deere cap.
