Looks cool, but as a working tractor what a pain. Less capacity and all that extra length and height without any additional equipment, interior space, or aero.

Oh, I agree with you folks on that one. Definitely not something I would want to work out of everyday. It does however have somewhat of a cool factor though.

If I was to ever build one it would be based more on the lines of this one(painted matte black).

Does it bother anyone else that the tires spin the wrong way?

All that work and he doesn't even set it up for the wheels to spin correctly. Ugh.

Look again. The guy flipping off the camera before throwing the package is UPS.

I'd bet they were all seasonal help, and they all lost their jobs when it became public.

I agree, when French Canadians are doing it, it's no longer cool.

LOL...I sure as heck wouldn't let what someone else likes dictate what you like or don't like. Life's to short, enjoy it.

I hate my stupid 'smart phone.' A guy at work asked me if I got his email.. I'm said, "No, I'm not at my desk." "What? You don't get it on your phone?" I mean he was surprised. In Feb my contract is up, going back to a flip phone. Hell I won't even access THIS site on my phone. I think it's stupid.

Ok. Rant off.

Rep gun is out for you!

I still have a flip phone and won't have a smart phone until work makes me or provides me with one. And even then it will probably be turned off when I leave work.

I don't want to be accessible all the time.
