Nice find Armand but some rotating blades on the front would be even better!

Looks pretty neat. Someone did a bang-up job painting that model. Having driven a few tractors, I would suggest a shorter protective plate in the front for visibility purposes. Also, the power take-off on the right side looks to be pretty well obstructed. That could be a most helpful device in a world with limited availability of power sources.

It's a picky thing to notice, but impressive still – they did a great job modeling those rough welds. Doug

If you're worried about zombies, cover the open spaces with chain-link fencing. I'm not sure if it might be a bit back-heavy and prone to tipping backward?

Interesting – I wonder what the original idea was about? It almost looks like something you'd see towing a golf ball collector at a driving range. But it almost looks too 'open' for that too.

Awesome weathering on that tractor. Thumbs up to the painter.

@ elsyrsyn: It's a picky thing to notice, but impressive still – they did a great job modeling those rough welds. Doug Yes, those welds caught my eye and is why I commented on the paint job. I grew up having a friend who lived on a dairy farm. To earn time to "play" with my friend, we both had lots of farm related work to do first. My friend's father may have been a farmer but his "paying" job was as a welder. I enjoyed watching him work on repairs to customer items or his own farm equipment. He even fixed my bicycle the night before a school bike/field trip to a local state park.
