      Me, my dad, and my stepfather run a micro farm in South Slovakia, when i tell you it's small, it is TINY, we don't have a harvester, but have all the things we need to get the job done, my dad's tractor is a Zetor Major 6911(69hp, 11 means rear wheel drive, diesel) and my stepfather's tractor is a Zetor Crystal 8911(89hp, rear wheel drive, diesel).

      Impressive machine, but unfortunately it's only causing damage to the land. Tilling ruins the soil composition, dries it out and deprives it of nutrients. This is turning previously rich soil into literally a desert around here. No till is the way to go. Policulture is even better. In my country the best wheat is grown using a no till method, without artificial fertilizers (which distort the protein in the grain). As a result of factory farming methods, the nutrient density in our crops is 60-200 times LESS than it used to be in the 1950s.

      I’m not very knowledgeable with machines but I swear the vid I seen of the 150 case steam engine cud damn near keep up with this modern massive fucking tractor for ploughing. It was going much slower but if they had the ppl not standing on the 50’ plough and instead had more plough to pull I swear it wud be pulling the same 80’ plough just with less speed. I think if they made some changes to the original design of the 150 case steam engine and made some adjustments to the plough the 150 case steam engine wud be able to do the same work as this modern tractor.

      you sure need headphones in this thing, because else your hearing will get permanent damaged.
      The owner did spend alot of money to keep this thing running, so i would have welded a new cab over the excisting one with double windows
      and insulate the engine itself and buy some exhaust mufflers that silence the engine some more. Anyway, i would go crazy when i would have
      to ride in this thing for just a single day as it is right now.

      Also need to update the cab with a better modern rear facing camera setup for seeing what's going on behind ya & for hitching up implements.
      I wonder if that old relic of a camera currently mounted at the rear, and the mini-tv, are still functional anymore? Regardless, I'm sure its picture quality is garbage.

    What a monster! No such thing as having to have computer codes to work on this one. This ain't nothing like the 7-bottom chisle plow I pulled driving a Case 1030 for my dad in the early 70s. He finished out his farming life in the mid-80s with an articulated Case 4890. And we thought the 4890 was a hoss. He saved that tractor for himself mostly while I was on a JD 6030 (the first tractor I drove with a cab, a/c, and am/fm radio) pulling 10 foot off-set and 20 foot leveling harrows. Thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Tractors, combines and implements have come a long way since I left the farm in the early 80s. Took up flying and made a career out of aviation, which was way more fun.
