Mike...

will the tractors run on ethanol or be electric

(we can assume, I presume, they'll be foreign made. The above is a Czech model)

heh!
nuthin runs thru the fields, like a deere:





Plowin' these fields in the hot summer sun
Over by the gate lordy here she comes
With a basket full of chicken and a big cold jug of sweet tea
I make a little room and she climbs on up
Open up the throttle and stir a little dust
Just look at her face she ain't a foolin' me

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy

We ride back and forth 'til we run out of light
Take it to the barn put it up for the night
Climb up in the loft sit and talk with the radio on
She said she's got a dream and I asked what it is
She wants a little farm and a yard full of kids
And one more teeny weeny ride before I take her home

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy

Well she ain't into cars or pickup trucks
But if it runs like a Deere man her eyes light up

She thinks my tractor's
She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me

She thinks my tractor's sexy
She thinks my tractor's sexy
She thinks my tractor's sexy

Now, now don. Let's not short-change Mega by forgetting the Brit's tractor engineering heritage:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Ferguson

Henry George "Harry" Ferguson (4 November 1884 – 25 October 1960) was an Irish engineer and inventor who is noted for his role in the development of the modern agricultural tractor, for becoming the first Irishman to build and fly his own aeroplane, and for developing the first four-wheel drive Formula One car, the Ferguson P99. Today his name lives on in the name of the Massey Ferguson company.

Some of us haven't forgotten Mr Ferguson....

Dear GRG55,
...because we use his legacies on a daily basis.
Perkins diesel still pullin' just fine. Did a tinwork paint job last month--still need to do the wheels, but otherwise done. This 62 HP Model 180 has about 5000 hours on it.
As to growth, there's not much here in south Texas for the moment. But just add water and we'll be fine.
Take care. Stetts

Love it!! My dad bought a Massey Ferguson 35 with a three-cylinder Perkins diesel in 1961. My oldest brother is still using it on his acreage, and his middle son will probably get it next. Alas it still has the original, now badly faded, red paint. :-)
