Exclamation Plowing the Field

This is what the farmers here in Missouri do for fun!

Boy, don't I wish! No Derf, if that was mine, the title would be "She Think's My Tractor's Sexy." Looks like loads of fun though! I could not post something of mine like that without some juicy details. Although I did grow up on a farm, and started working on tractors as a teenager. Farm life is a hard life, I believe in working smarter, not harder, haha. Would like to know what's in that tractor though. Diesel size and make, turbo details, compression, etc! The fun I would have had with something like that back at the Farm! Could use an extra roll-bar, and of course a five-point harness! LOL!

It looks like a B234F turbo... Runs on gasoline, 2.3 liters... Probably has the boost turned up to smoke the tires like that... I bet that 50mph is scary as crap on a tractor, lol...

Thanks for the info. Jerama! I thought it was quite for a diesel, w/ straight pipe exhaust, but with all that spooling, it's hard to hear the engine, haha!

Yeah, that open downpipe will do that... Actually the giveaway to me was in the beginning of the video, where you see spark plug wires and a distributor... Those don't belong on a diesel, lol

Now I see it, mounted next to the breather on the right side, not mounted on the engine itself. Can't say I ever saw a gas powered tractor...until now. Live and learn!

Volvo power lives! I wonder if Hoseppi has seen this yet? He'll probably love it! That's one bad *** tractor. I used to work on International Harvesters after I got out of high-school. None of them would do that stuff!

Yup, Rubehayseed! That IS one bad-*** tractor! He has a new one video out now, taking a poke at Nascar. It's cute, but not as funny in my opinion.

Exclamation Plowing the field, Nascar style!

Here is "Terror's" newest installment from team Vianor! Well edited...to the beat of the music. Cute poke at Nascar! I don't know about everyone else, but in my opinion there is nothing more fun than watching people tearing up stuff, unless of course I'm doing it myself! Hope you enjoy!
