Interesting!! How are they doing that? Are the barrels at each wheel keeping it afloat??

 

[jjunkin]

Yes. Cylinders also act as sites for advertising sponsors logos etc. Unfortunately the main local MF dealer couldn't care less.....

Did they put a PTO propeller on the back?

 

[jjunkin]

The wheels provided propulsion, especially in reverse, but forward propulsion was mainly by PTO propeller at rear of tank with a spring-loaded rudder operated by cable and pulley from the lift arm.

Surely you are not saying he should have been forced to "donate"... ?

Looks like everyone is having a good time.
You do have some beautiful country there...
