Saw this on a farm in Hawaii. Farmer said the high ground clearance is for straddling the strawberry beds. Thought you greenies would enjoy the pic...I'm an orange man myself.

All the major companies have machines like these. Rice farmers buy em here to spray the dikes and levees. They usually replace the tires with steel frisbee looking wheels.

There is a hundred of these around here in south Louisiana working in the sugar cane fields. In fact, this is the ONLY style of tractor you can use.
