Go to 1.05 for the cab to start swinging around. Finished in 1975, this tractor was the biggest in the world until it was trumped by Big Bud - well done fellows! In 2004 it was upgraded to include a swing around cab. Swing around seats are fine, but not helpful if it means that all of the controls end up in different positions. Tractor manufacturers please take note - we would like tractors to have swing around cabs as standard! http://www.multifarmingsystems.com.au/about.php

Is there a way he could shoot more footage? Maybe driving it around the lot and seeing some views of it front and rear?

@farmgirloz Slicks only provide more traction on a smooth hard surface.

It looks like a modified loader

They are slicks like the racing drivers use so they have more traction.

There wasn't a tractor big enough to pull a homemade land plane to level off melon holes (natural depressions in the ground) in 1975 when this one was built. Too heavy for farming! David didn't ever bother building another one. He has never been out to reinvent the wheel, so we bought other tractors after that. This tractor is still used to deep rip occassionally, to pull a scoop dam building and as a crane in the workshop. She's had a good life!
