Sure would be a fun toy - bet the costs is right up there, and yes, he deserves it if they"re as good as they look!
 
Excellent workmanship and really cool looking.
Love the Olivers...got some just like those only twice the size!
 
My website just blew up!

I'm Kurt Smith, and I make little tractors...

Thanks everyone for the compliments and for visiting the website. I have a great time making these little tractors. The next three will all be AWD diesel IH 1206 models.

Check back to the site in a week or so and I'll have some new pictures posted.

Thanks again,
Kurt
 
That is really cool.
Now for the million dollar question.....
Just for kicks here.
What would you charge a guy to make lets say that IH 1206 tractor? What did you charge for that?
The workmanship is really great.

What did you charge for the Oliver 770?
 
Neat stuff! I know a guy who has a Silver King made from a Cub Cadet Hydro. Has the Silver King grille,steering box,shift and transmission top. It's got a two cylinder Kubota motor in it. Nice looking little unit.
 
So far they have ranged from $9,000 up to just over $20,000 for the biggest turbocharged AWD diesels. That tractor started on a $3,900 chassis before I even started customizing it. I usually have about 50% in parts and material, and the rest goes to labor.

Now I am just thinking out loud here,
What if you were to make a real life size, say a Ford 5000 tractor, but with a Ford 6 cylinder gas engine from a car or truck? Hydrostatic trans? having to rebuild an existing Ford 5000 engine would be a PITA I would think.
 
Unbelievable. Ksmith, you are a true artist.

I hope you always have customers so you can keep doing what you obviously love!
 
Bob Thomas from MO has a US B that I would dearly love to have. He also made a F 20(?). I wanted him to bring to Rantoul but he said it was too far for his age. A director at a show he was at, said a guy asked him where he bought the motor for the B. He said he made and he did. The only thing he said he did different, was to just make a 2 speed transmission instead of a 4.
