And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Mmyeah, I immediately question about half the images that the internet sends me and this is one of them. I am not a farmer nor from the Mid-west where one is surrounded by farms and farm equipment, so my comments are from complete ignorance. That said, would there be a reason for six wheels on one axle? That looks like it would provide a lot of "flotation" over muddy terrain. And if six wheels are intended to provide extra traction to pull a heavy load, where is that implement?
Not a farmer but did grow up in the mid-west. While not common, occasionally you did see three aside mainly in places like the Red River valley where the soil is very heavy clay. Partly traction to pull large equipment, partly to try and not compact the soil which gets to the point of modeling clay. Same principle as Cat and Case-IH putting out tractors with tank like treads.
Bullshit....trust me...I buried a tractor O-N-C-E....the Ol' Man saw to it that it never happened again.... If we had all the energy wasted on AI crap we could power a large city....
What appears to be a strange looking tire on the left/front is actually the front fender. Models with mechanical front wheel drive normally have fenders since the lugged tires will throw up a lot of mud. Duals (more common) or triples are primarily used for increased flotation. Just like 4 wheel drive, that doesn't guarantee you won't get stuck. I would hazard a guess this guy was either trying to get to another tractor/vehicle that was stuck or was simply trying to get the tractor out of this muddy mess in order to utilize it elsewhere. Once he fell through the game was over.
We could get that out with a few shovels and a 4 abreast team of draft horses. Heh.
ReplyDeleteAI? Left front wheel looks strange.
