Tractor Definition

[RaydaKub]

My wife and daughters disagree. They say Barbie needs HER tractor too.

Yeah, I saw a purple JD Model A with yellow wheels a few years ago. I just thought of it as a Viking JD. :laughing:

Although I think the lavender and rose colors on the Case clash...

OK, I haven't found a tiller, splitter, or chipper yet...

ah you beat me to it. i was waiting for someone to post the comment about a ztr does nothing but cut grass to which i was going to post similar pics of various ztrs that can be adapted with other front implements.

per the dictionary version of a tractor (that someone posted) wouldn't that make ATV's, golf carts, UTV's that pull various pull behind equipment tractors also?

pull behind tiller, DR tiller check
pull behind brush hog... DR brush mower check
pull behind disc, check
pull behind driveway grader, check
pull behind backhoe, check
pull behind logtrailer, check

This is kinda like what's the difference between a ship and a boat.:laughing:

An old definition:
"If it is carried on a ship, it is a boat."

Sorry, not trying to hijack this thread, but it is a police tractor, they used it in the UK for by a police force to highlight their fight against agricultural crime. The say that they can use it in a natural disaster. I could see that. Very interesting tractor. It's a John Deere. They car it a "Crop" car.

This video is from another area also that made a police tractor:

Tractor:

My neighbor, who is a full time farmer, traveled to a show that had Bug Bud featured there. It's a custom made tractor with its own custom made implements. He said it can work one acre of ground in one minute.

I'd agree with these statements to the fullest. Though my old 3120 would feel like a monster to most people, to me it felt tiny, especially when I'd park it next to the 5410. So for me, a 3120 was a SCUT. Even my 110, which will do everything I need feels small. I started off looking at full sized TLB's (as shown on TBN) because I like that size and it feels like a tractor to me. Nobodies definition of two classes of a tractor are the same.That's why saying that the Max is deceptive can't be possible.

I think that's the part you may have missed.

No one said the Max wasn't a tractor, but several agreed that it is not a "subgompact tractor"............The max is more aptly described as a "compact tractor". That's where the 'deceptive' kicks in.

We aren't going to go through all this again. But my point is you still have not given a clear forefront definition of the classes of tractors that can be agreed on by everyone. Since there isn't one - it can't be wrong. This is what's been evading you, Don's tractor classification doesn't work for me and a lot of other people.

My 2001 Jeep TJ Wrangler pulls a 2 bottom trip plow, a set of 6' wide double disks and 6' cultivators. I guess it is a tractor, too.

What makes a tractor a tractor and a glorified lawn mower a tractor?

A glorified lawn mower must have a cab, but it still wont be a tractor.

The specifications spell it all out clearly for most people to understand, I'm sorry that you don't.
