That thing is very cool, all was probably fine till the operator fell off the machine and they had to pick him out of those rear gears. :shock: :shock:

That was henry ford in the hat driving it I think or it was his son Edsel- The firm, Fordson, made it and many other tractors. while it was a separate from the Ford Motor Company it was later merged with it.
Good concept
