      That there is still plenty money being made in
      subsidized European agriculture to buy new
      machinery?

        Wow, that really was quite a video...350hp tractors pulling various implements rated for 100hp tractors....looks good for CaseIH. Our farmers in Europe must be doing well.

            Pulling 20' of deep rippers is a load for ANY tractor... if you ever pulled one.

            Quadtracs are the best configuration today to get power to the hitch pin... hands down.

            Glad to see these folks celebrate the innovation of a very good tractor!

            I own JD trators (but for one 276V)... so this assessment isn't from pride or arrogance... the system can simply out pull anything else.

              it was a charity event to set a record for most quadtracs in one field.
              since it is raining non stop, there was no shortage of folks willing to turn up.
              transport and implements were all supplied by sponsors.

                most of those "twenty foot units" are working at 14 to 16 inches deep in clay as hard as a road in field conditions.
                rather different to your frost heaved prairieland.

                  anyone who thinks quads are the best way to put
                  power to the ground had better not google "Embro
                  Tractor Pull" on hard ground wheels always out pull
                  no power is lost flexing the belts around the idlers

                    quadtracs are popular also because they are within our max transport width of 3.5 m.
                    duals on our roads will get you in jail.
