Hey Guys and Gals, want to see a really big Tractor? (I fixed it)

Sign in to disble this ad

Some info on the bigness:
The tractor was built to produce 760 horsepower using a 16-cylinder Detroit Diesel engine. The tractor measures 27 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 14 feet tall. The tires were specially made by United Tire Company of Canada and are 8 feet in diameter. When the 1,000 gallon fuel tank is full the tractor tips the scales at over 100,000 pounds.

(4:58am)

Actually in Nebraska they drive tractors to prom too. BTW are you the Council Bluffs area, cause I live in the south east corner of Nebraska. Itd be cool to know somebody lives just over the line on here. BTW I didnt work on one, It says (I fixed it) in the title, becuase the first time I posted it up, the picture didnt work, so I fixed THE POST to make the picture come up.

Yeah, I used the truck to haul groupies & the excavator to dig ditches for the irrigation system to put out the fires caused by spontaneous combustion of the aforementioned groupies brought on by my fiery pyrotechnic uber-metal fretboard mastery.
