(NOTE, not MY photo, I stumbled upon it on the 'net and though it was a nice photo that others might enjoy, as well.)

Such a great looking tractor. Funny how the droopy
hoods on modern tractors make them look weak and
silly. Who needs an aerodynamic hood on a tractor that
is going across a field at 5-8 mph ?

Got one about like it, just don't leave it out in the snow! We do have that much snow here. Just don't like to leave any brand tractor out in the BBS!

Thanks for pointing that out, now I know why I don't like the looks of them too. If it wasn't for paint color, they would all look the same at a distance.

If it's a gas I bet it would start right up.

It's not about styling! It is the struggle between what is needed for cooling capacity, front end weight to keep the wheels down and vision about what the driver can see ahead. But some think it should have the Peterbilt syndrome...."honey(on the phone)would you be sure the tricycles are off the driveway...I'm almost home"

Leo who also thinks those Olivers are good looking.

Think of the lower air resistance and fuel economy. Seriously, I bet it is miniscule, but measurable. When you gots 1/2 to 1M invested in a machine, and the price of fuel is unstable (as is the price of crops). Makes you think. ;^)

Correct, think Big Bud or Steigers.
