I see flying pieces of rubber and a lot of sparks starting within a mile or two.

Maybe he is just going to move it to another parking spot.

My guess as the extended hitch and wheel for the launch ramp...

Maybe he is just going to move it to another parking spot.

They started in farm equipment if memory serves and Porsche had a line of tractors and the Mercedes G Wagon plant also produced a lot of tractors...

The G wagon plant (Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria) never made tractors, those were made in the Steyr plant in St.Valentin, now owned by New Holland.

I guess my thinking is off…

Isn’t it Steyer of Austria that made luxury vehicles, vehicles, buses, mopeds, motorcycles, bicycles, aircraft engines, weapons and post WWII in 1947 tractors?

I know their early tractors were extremely simple and rugged… and very much coveted often passed from generation to generation… crank start single cylinder diesel with a most distinctive sound.

Been looking for one in North America for years like the one I operated as a child…

The boat has more power than the itsy bitsy car...

I use to tow a jetki behind a bicycle. Lived in a tiny island with no personal motor vehicles other than boats. I could see this being a not as stupid as it appears option for shuffling your boat around a campground.

Steyr built a few cars under Fiat license, but originally it was a weapon manufacturer, just like Zetor. I dont know if Steyr still makes rifles, but Zetor (Zbrokovka Tractor) was split off from CZ (Ceske Zbrokovka).

I dont know which Daimler it was in Steyr Daimler Puch, but they did make trucks and tractors after ww2. Puch was sold off to an Italian moped manufacturer after their heighdays, Steyr trucks was sold to MAN in the early 90s and Steyr tractors was sold to Case in 1996. Later when NH bought Case, they sold the Steyr Antriebstechnik to ZF.

Lately an entrepreneur wanted to buy the former Steyr truck plant from MAN to save it from extinction, but the deal didnt go through i believe.

Steyr itself was at some point bought by automotive supplier Magna from Canada, and apart from producing components they still build small series of cars for several major auto makers. Oh and they did 4x4 conversions for regular passenger cars: In Austria you can even find a Fiat Panda 4x4...

I see a smart way to launch a boat with a very short car. Notice the chains and lights aren't hooked up. Remove the extension and replace the ball mount for highway travel.

I didn’t know Lamborghini made tractors.

They made tractors long before automobiles.
Mr Lambo took offense to Ferrari telling him to stick to tractors after an exchange of words.

Enzo did the same thing to Henry Ford 2.

If they hadn’t traded insults, we might never have seen a great selection of cool race cars.

True, both the Lamborghini 350GT and the Ford GT40 were the result of being insulted by Ferrari...

It is designed by the son of Hans Ledwinka, the guy who worked at Tatra and inventor of the backbone chassis, who was chief director at Steyr before he went to work at Tatra: After the war, in 1946 the new Communist government accused him of collaborating with the Germans, in what were merely show processes from the "workers revolution" against high ranking individuals. When he got out, Hans Ledwinka went to retire in Vienna, working as a consultant at Tatra. His son Erich who also worked for Tatra, went to work for Steyr and designed the Pinzgauer and Haflinger based on his fathers central backbone principle.

The Vanagon Syncro 4WD conversion was done by Steyr-Daimler-Puch.
Capable setup indeed.
