    Some of the best times I had visiting my grand parents farm in Kansas was playing on the tractor. My granddad would take us out to a fallow field and lets us go wild, though we did have to come in every few hours to grease its nipples.

    I’d love to have one today. you could run over and flatten a prius, then rotate the seat around and use the backhoe to bury the thing.

    I’d like to point out that one of those tractors he claims were “designed by Crayon” was the most produced commercial tractor design of all time – the Farmall H. There are enough third party parts available these days to resurrect almost any “H” model from the dead.

    And oh, the reason why they have the narrow front tires, is because they were “row crop” tractors – you could actually adjust the rear track width, so it would be able to drive down the rows, without crushing the plants.
