And if it does get stuck, what do you use to pull it out?

Never had a problem getting parts for Ford Tractors.

Water pumps for example, I would go to NAPA, as long as I had the part number, and get them there.

And Ford tractors were great for water pump problems.

Select-o-speed parts might be a problem.

I watched all 8 episodes this past week.
Top job and really interesting. Top Gear In Retirement kind of deal. :)

Needs a cow or human catcher...no? Wonder how the cost per acre vs a typical large tractor works out. Considering all factors.

—”Does it come with its own pit-crew?”

YES!
Full live-in accommodations for two are provided in the back.

Their primary function is to schedule the fueling truck and man the hose.

Easiest transmission ever to work on. Most misunderstood and yet with a tad bit of more engineering, could have been made to work properly.

The problem with it was the control valve.

They just replaced the engine, appears they will be putting it to use.

Second to last paragraph says that they are planning to retire the tractor and are looking for a place to put it on display.

I have been looking for a bit bigger lawnmower, but not sure this one is big enough.

NICE FIND!

To see it working added another dimension to the size and power.

Thanks

—”The crops must pay really good these days?”
See the video in #17.
They explain mention a narrow time frame to get in and get out of the field.
TIME IS MONEY.

—”control system that will let the tractor do the work while the driver has a nap or surfs the net.”

GPS auto-steering, standard or optional on most large tractors today.

Bug Bud and 500 similar tractors were built in the 1970’s.
