GREAT PIECE OF TRACTOR HISTORY

[@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606]

The 2 stroke Detroit Diesel, the reason farmers, truckers and equipment operators say “What!?”When asked a question.

[@andersonadventures1302]

There is some truth in that

Farm I worked on as a youth, had a 9370. It was a 12 tired monster, I loved that tractor

[@bobbyboucher5309]

My dad n uncle each had a panther. I climbed up on the roof of my dad's one day n got stuck up there, I was 5 n didn't realize the mess I got into. I was stuck up there for what seemed like hrs. I spent just about the same hrs in it with my dad as what it read on the meter.

Did the boys use fuller transmissions? Thanks for the video GoServe Global!

[@cliffterrell4876]

Left out the puma.

[@levivaughan3434]

What size injectors is that 6-71 running that he'd call them "the biggest you could fit"? Are they n95s?

[@thevox1075]

5200 acres with a tractor that size! That’s a lot of hours in the seat. What size tools did they pull with it? Did they use other tractors alongside it?

[@andersonadventures1302]

I am not sure what size equipment but they did use some other tractors

[@dalekrueger1175]

The engine was salvaged from a HD14 allis chalmers crawler

[@danvertdavis6867]

I would like to see this in a tractor pull just one time...just because of what it is

[@lorenzotrevisani4421]

These tractors are made for working, not for show off to distroy. This is my opinion.

[@steviedepaoli2717]

Does the Steiger family still farm?

[@andersonadventures1302]

I am not sure

[@nellsonstout7001]

I don’t think they do but they still own the farm

[@steviedepaoli2717]
