Title: comfort tractor... First one I've seen. NGC - saw this while riding the NTX
Post by: rdbandkab on July 04, 2015, 08:18:46 PM

Found this on Rt8 in Harrisville, PA on our way up to NY for lunch.   400 mile day of perfect riding temps and no clouds for a change!!!

Lovely! I think built on University Ave in Mpls, Mn but St. Paul claims that turf now.

Those are pretty rare! Only 150 built, maybe 80 survive with approx. 25 still in operating condition.

Last year at the national rally Robert "chuckles" Oler told me about those. When I got home I googled them and WOW that is one very expensive tractor/truck. They bring absolutely crazy money.

Do you suppose it was designed for the farmer who used his implements to drive to church on Sunday?

 They weren't very good at being a car or a tractor . Kind of like amphibious cars , or those Texas twofers barbershop/BBQ joints  :laugh:
Still , would be kinda cool to drive one .
