Just going off topic here slightly.
Here in the UK we never have tractors with the wheels at the front so close together, ours are just a standard setup. Can anyone explain to me in easily undestood terms why they are so close together.
Just interested in something different.
Lovely 'model' by the way.

I think that "Tractor" started out as a lawn mower. The mower deck was removed, larger rear tires added, and the front end narrowed.
This makes the small "tractor" look like a miniature farm tractor or like a kid's pedal tractor with a motor...

Hi Hal,
I was talking about the full size ones in the US, we don't have tractors with the front wheels so close together, in fact I have seen some tractors from the US with only one on the front. I just wanted to know if they were made that way for a specific job.

There is a lot of wheel tractors running now days but I spent more time in an old D6 C cat conture plowing steep ground. I would sit on the seats arm rest and put my back on the side windows.

Many thanks for the explanations lads, it now becomes clear. I wonder why these never caught on in the UK?
Mind you we are a backward lot here, I still remember having horse drawn stuff in the 60's, because my father used to send me out to get the s*** in a bucket for putting on his garden. Always thought that those carrots tasted a bit funny.

Heres my version of a JD. Powered by a 44 CC Homelite chainsaw engine burning alcohol it can pull a 180 Lb. sled 40 ft. Not bad for an R/C. Now if I could only find someone locally to compete with. :cry:

Hi Alex,
Glad you like the tractor. As far as the sport of tractor pulling, it is big in the eastern part of the country and the mid-west because of all the agriculture. I tried to get it started in California where I live but it seems people are more interested in racing. So now I have a tractor and 2 P/U trucks and nobody to pull against. I guess I could put on my own little show. I even have a transfer sled to pull.
