Somewhere On The Autobahn

Just when I thought I've seen it all this video appears. I'm assuming it's a Lamborghini tractor...

[Frizlefrak]

Auf Wiedersehen....

 

[OLDRACER]

Perhaps it is an ASTON MARTIN, that company actually made tractors.

 

[steveblonde]

i too am betting its a Lambo they were making tractors way before they got in to cars and the only reason they got in to cars is because Ferruccio Elio Arturo Lamborghini got into a heated discussion with Enzo Anselmo Ferarri as to why his cars were so ugly

Minneapolis Moline built a tractor back in the late 1930's with a cab that was designed to run down the roads at 40 mph.  The idea was that the farmer could work in the fields with the tractor plus be able to use it as road transportation when it was needed.  It had a heated cab and some of the amenities of a car of that era.

I guess in Europe they're still building them!

One more piece of trivia.  Most of the Minneapolis ULDS tractors were sold to Mail Men.  They could travel the muddy, snowy rural roads when nothing else could.

I find myself wondering what kind of tires those are on those big rear wheels and how they hold up to the centripetal forces at highway speeds.

I am thinking a farm tractor's brakes and steering would leave something to be desired at that speed.

Watch the next video and see the motorcycle hit up to 300km (abt 180 mph)

I owned a Minneapolis back in the 80s and have read and seen quite a bit about this model but, believe it or not, it was a failure and only made for a short period.  That also made it without the cab but it was the cab that made  it all weather useable.  Sure wish I had bought the one I saw for sale but, even then, it was too rich for my bank account.

 

[Old Blevins]

Gotta admit, I've never seen a tractor go 60+ mph before - let alone hauling a trailer.

 

[driftless shifter]

Imagine an unbalanced tire or worse, a blow out!

More stock that I thought it would be.  I was anticipating something that looked like what you would see at a tractor pull.
