Here's one for you guys. I took this photo in downtown Baghdad. The bummer part about this question is that I don't know the answer. So whomever can post the most convincing answer as to the make and model of this tractor wins!!!

That is an IDEA tractor, Model# 37 DT with a Syncro transmission. Soooooooo........whats the prize????

Honestly I have no idea (pun intended) what that is. Looks pretty beefy though.

Mornin Ovrszd,
Well cant tell for sure on make or model, but I think I would look under the hood before I started it

Did anyone notice the bullet holes in the side of the hood??

Hey Don:

How come YOU don't have a Goldoni?? You are driving a JD according to your profile. Does your boss know you drive the competition??

dgl24087 · Sep 21, 2006

No "ringer". I just forgot to add the fact that I copy and pasted from their website.

And here I was thinking it was the special model Lamborghini intended to be used solely in the ITRA (Italian Tractor Racing Association) equivalent of our stock car racing. The shaved tread on the lone driving wheel in the left front is to help it negotiate the left turn only dirt tracks while throwing lots of dust in front of the opposition with the turf style tires on the other three wheels. This one has had the safety cage removed entirely to reduce unsprung weight and lower the center of gravity so as to avoid the dreaded rollover accidents which plague the series and almost resulted in the elimination of the sport.

You might tell the owner of the tractor that not having a ROPS could be dangerous to his health. (yes I'm being facetious)

I went to that Farmphoto website and it had the exact picture that Ovrszd posted originally. How did that happen?

Let's see, he posted here on 9/20, then I posted the answer and the Farmphoto link, and it shows he posted there on 9/21, so my guess is that he posted it there after I posted the link.

Yep, that's how it happened. Thought maybe some Goldoni guys might get a kick out of trying to verify it too. Great website, I just have a heck of a time reading some of the dialog???
