What makes a tractor a tractor?”

[PineRidge]

I think that Henro is making us all use our heads way too much lately for things other than just holding up our ears.

By the way Henro is an ear only an ear if one can actually hear?

I was still contemplating "drilling holes in ROPS" (I'm slow) and now this /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I suspect it's way,way beyond the cabin fever stage!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think it's the lack of a back seat.

After WWII there was a rush for manufacturers to offer vehicles that could service as farm tractors for returning vets. I have seen Jeeps and Power Wagons set up for mowing or plowing....

It sounds like it is a good thing that I didn't ask the follow-up question to my what makes a good tractor good post: Why, if I buy a good new tractor, do I need to worry about whether the dealer I buy it from will provide good service? /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Henro, what ever the law says a tractor is, than that is a tractor.
OH LOOK here is a quote from the TEXAS MOTOR VEHICLE HANDBOOK - TRANSPORTATION CODE -DEFINITIONS "(5) - "FARM TRACTOR" MEANS A MOTOR VEHICLE DESIGNED AND USED PRIMARILY AS A FARM IMPLEMENT FOR DRAWING OTHER IMPLEMENTS OF HUSBANDRY."
I rest my case. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif But then if you put a saddle on the tractor it would qualify under "(1) (A) "All-terrain vehicle" means a motor vehicle that is equipped with a saddle for the use of the rider" /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Only in TEXAS! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

So . . . . . that would be a Chevy Tracker Tractor? Definitely do not drill the ROPS on that one, you know how they flip over (Oops! Sorry, that was the Isuzu Trooper. Then don't drill the ROPS on the Isuzu Trooper Tractor OR the Isuzu Trooper II Tractor) /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

A tractor to me is a vehicle that has low gearing, big ag tires, 3-point,PTO, 1 seat, hydralics, a smoke stack and is used for farming.
