Very interesting. I'd need a cab. Wonder how many acres you can cut a day with one of those? Farming here and there sure is different for certain.

So can you take the tractor off to utilize it?

looks to me like built from reverse engineering. Not a good job though. Be hard to see the table over the hood.

I notice a high center of gravity and poor weight distribution along with the poor visibility.

they should have reverse engineered the MM Uni system.

the descriptions are like reading one of those scam e-mails that you get from a foreign country,they almost have english mastered,but not quite.Intriguing equipment though.Tracked combine looks way top heavy.Bill M.

It reminds me of the Standen Sugar beet that were available here, with a demountable tractor skid unit.
I don"t like the idea of not being able to see the cutterbed clearly though.

It's been on here before and I believe it is made in India. Not sure the open wheel drive would pass safety muster. Kinda reminds you of the mounted New Idea corn pickers only in this case you remove the tractor from the picker.

Just remember, when you call support for Microsoft, Visa, Charter...etc....these are the same people you are talking to.

Interesting. Brought to mind the JF combine from the 50's-60's that were attached alongside the tractor. Still not a good view of the cutterbar but it was on and off the tractor in minutes if not seconds. It was a 10 footer and seemed to be matched for the Fordson Super Major.

Well the phone numbers do add up to India. I have yet to see one in the field there though. But then again I haven't traveled in the heavy farming areas during harvest yet.

One odd note. John Deere's are not very common there. I have seen alot of tractors and can count the number of JD's I have seen so far on one hand. In talking to a couple dealers through my fiancee as interpreter the JD's just don't have any trade in value. No dealer support is the issue and there are substantial tariffs on outside manufactured products.

It is a land of "can do" attitude though.

BTW Call center's are a true industry there. They have schools dedicated to this.

For a second I thought it might be Rick Foose"s second try at a 4020 design.

My IRA is thru HSBC. I thought I dialed the
local branch xxx-xxx-0501. Must have dialed
xxx-xxx-0500 and got a girl in India. The service
was better than locally.

Sorry Heat,
I guess I"m as bad at remembering names as Chip is at designing hot rod tractors.
