Brilliant little doc, Always had a thing for tractor's because as a kid we had a Gas station in the middle of East Yorkshire that was surrounded by farms, the old couple with the farm behind the station had a barn full of equipment including tractors and we used to get a ride on the trailer occasionally. when you are 5 years old the speed seemed like that of a Salt flat Tractor! in reality being only 15 to 20 mph if that, thanks for posting mate - by the way afterI got out of school my first job was for a Massey Ferguson dealership and I got to drive quite a few tractors on sited, my favoroite still to this day was the little MF 135.
AND I had to skim through it - busy and a big day and I was quite tired.... but from what I gathered, that the OLD tractors had steel wheels, and thanks to this guy / and the factory / team, they got GOOD inflatable rubber tyres on all the tractors instead. The transition point in history....
AND the fun / worrying aspect - that the guy in the starter picture, that actually looks like a brilliantly fun thing to drive and it just looks cool - but unless the road is extremely flat - NO suspension = that could get really bad in an instant...... Maybe that is why basic vehicles like tractors, only have very low real world speeds.....
