I find it quite amazing that some of the most esoteric manufacturers of vehicles for the road just so happen to also have at one time or another manufactured farm implements. Lamborghini, Moto Guzzi, Porsche, and Ford all have either designed or manufactured tractors. Okay, well maybe Ford isn’t all that esoteric, but a lot of their tractors are still pretty cool. Of course there doesn’t need to be an automotive or motorcycle connection for a tractor to be an amazing barnyard denizen. John Deere, Farmall, and Alice Chalmers are but a few of the names of companies that have, over the years, built some pretty wicked farm machines. For many of those who have grown up in urban or suburban environments, and for whom the closest to a farm they might come is glancing distrustingly at free range chicken in the cooler at the Piggly Wiggly, seeing any sort of tractor may be as foreign a sight as bacon still on the pig, and perhaps just as jaw dropping. For the rest of us though, we know that when it comes to tractors, there are the cool and the ice cold, and today I want to hear your opinion of which tractor you this is the most awesome.
