Sweet! It really does look like a race car of sorts now. Chip Foose is a great guy. I wish he would come out with a new show like Overhaulin'

I don't think it's too bad. It was never meant to be a "working" tractor; I think Deere always knew the winner would use it as a showpiece (parades, tractor shows, etc.). I agree it's not very practical, but I give Deere credit for trying something different.

I personally think it looks much! better as the original, but thats just me:thumbdown:

It almost looks like an old time Indy car the way it wraps around at the bottom. I'm not sure what those horizontal stripes/bars are doing . In my mind they mess up the design alot. Picture them not there and I think the tractor looks better. He also should not have created a curved exhaust but instead, run the exhaust to the bottom so it does not become a design element or at least not such an obvious one. Also. I'd like a larger tire out back but if he did that, he'd lose the Indy car look by having less parity between the front and rear tire

Hmmmmmm, Chip's stuff is usually very cool. Maybe he vendored this one out to third world country designers, to save money.

YUCK!!!!!!! Chip needs to stick with cars and leave the ag side alone!

LOL....exactly. You couldnt even part the thing out. About the only thing worth something are the 4 tires... I have 1 word for the marketing "genius" over at Deere that thought of this..... FAIL
