It holds 1,000 gallons of fuel

Great. Just the kind of vehicle I get stuck behind at the gas station.

It is definitely 747-sized! Does it come with its own pit-crew?

I don’t know that I would publicize this beast. The environmental left will notice, get involved, and try to screw things up.

You would think that with all the problems that farmers are having with computer operated tractors recently that these people would want to keep this tractor operating as long as they could.

Clarkson's Farm

An excellent docu-com series following Jeremy Clarkson's adventures in farming - and of course he buys a large Mazarati tractor.

The crops must pay really good these days?

Australia was one of their biggest customers. When one was delivered, a company representative would be there to teach the owners how to run and maintain the machine. The company know they had a built in customer base, as farmers always had the have a bigger machine than the neighbors.

All they need now is a wireless control system that will let the tractor do the work while the driver has a nap or surfs the net.

There are some Youtube vids of some of these working mostly up in the Dakotas and Canada.

A lot of farmers are buying up classic tractors for less than one 6th of new and fixing them up and working them.

That is..tractors from the 60s, 70s and early 80s.

Dam tractor manufacturers are refusing to allow farmers to get hold of the computer program to diagnose problems.
So what would you do? Buy a farm tractor for over 300 grand and have the SOB break down and have to get a factory tech out to see what the hells wrong with it? Or would you sooner buy a old used tractor for 20 to 30 grand, put some money into it and run it knowing you can work on it.

I will take a Ford 9600 or similar over the new “NEW Hollands” any day. After all, Fiat owns New Holland as well as several of the other brands.

After a stint with Willowbrook Farms in Indlantic, Florida,

They misspelled Indialantic. It's a small beach town, which seems like an odd place for a gigantic tractor that seems more suited to Iowa or Nebraska.
