Mercedes Introduces All-Electric Heavy Truck - Automobile
Too bad Mercedes doesn't make farm tractors, like Lamborghini used to.
First they'd take this electric tech and convert it to a tractor; the perfect ballast weight in the rear.
And then they'd make an AMG version of it with lovely carbon fibre trim,
heated and cooled leather Recaro seats and as a real game changer, they'd bring a 100hp engine
to the hydrostatic market. Every one else conks out 30hp less.
Pick a price point 20-30% above Deere.
I mean, aren't successful farmers allowed one fun tractor when they own ten? They'll spend incredible amounts of money on
tractor pull tractors and lugging them around, so the money is there for something extra special for Farmer John.
Or even a few of us fake Farmer Johns...
Actually most of us are pretty frugal when it comes to machinery, a serious bunch of value buyers.
But it's fun to dream...
I wonder when Gale Banks will have a turbo mod with launch control for my Kubota.
Just what I need when delicately moving mulch...
Growing up on a farm with 70 acres of woods, i spent a lot of time in those woods as a little kid, parents always figured we'd be in by dinner and they were right.
So doing plaster paris hoof prints of deer tracks in Cub Scouts wasn't really something new for me. I dropped out after several years, and later wish I hadn't.
Always thought becoming a Scout was a real display of character. Those badges meant they had walked the walk and not just talked the talk. And likely some leadership skills learned also.
