Came across some of these on my youtube feed.
Bet no one has seen a porsche tractor.
Just for fun.

Thanks Beer, yea sometimes a guy gets watching one vid on there and before you know it couple hours later and you are wayyyyy down the rabbit hole lol.
Them Porsche tractors are mentioned in one of my Nebraska test books, think its the 1950 to 1975 one. There was more than a few one hit wonders from Europe and even the US that while never tested, did get mentioned.
You should edit your title to vids and pics, I got a few things around here I suspect many have never seen either, oddball versions of common equipment long since forgot about. Like for example, an all steel, not one piece of cast, powerlift one bottom @24 inch breaking plow. Is welded together with stainless rod. Stuff like that.
I got some pics of that Jeep, tried posting them from my phone several days ago but they're too large, I'll get them up soon, thanks.
That MF system vid reminded me of what is some good reading, Ferguson's version of the story of how Henry f*cked him over on that hitch system. I never realized what a total prick Ford really was.

Square dancing Farmalls ae actually from Iowa. Used to date gal whose father dressed up as one of the women. She wasn't too proud of that fact but they could sure put on a show.

This is something I've never seen nor heard of before, has anyone seen a unit like this that someone in your area owned and used on this side of the pond ?

Well I just can’t figure out why those never took off 😂. Looks like something I would come up with sitting around a campfire at 4 in the morning!
I would guess at around the 2:00 mark it was digging a trench?

That is what that equipment looks like, the one being loaded on the trailer and then the one in the field being used. I wonder if that is doing tile by chance and part of the reason why the funky "tires" because of often having soft ground. I've never been over the pond in Jolly England/Great Britain but the impression I get is its either raining or about to rain.

While not old farm iron, interesting for the testing they did back then to prove the double decker bus would not fall over easily.
