Rurality - Drive Thru, Farm Style
I think a small car could drive under this tractor! To the best of my knowledge, this type of tractor is used to spray crops. The tall wheels allow it to drive down the rows of crops and over them without causing damage. When the tractor is not in spray mode, the rails that would normally jut out are swung back along the tractor sides.

I've never seen a tractor like that, it looks like a Transformer! :)
ReplyDeletei always want to drive under them, too! (scary idea, i know...)
ReplyDeleteI have seen those things in the eastern part of the state, I never knew what their purpose was.
ReplyDeleteWe saw one like that and wondered what it was for; thanks! It looks kinda' scary coming at you.
ReplyDeleteYou really are out in the boonies.
ReplyDeleteI like that Candy says it looks like a Transformer. :)
ReplyDeleteCool find Sally!
We have them out this way. It always amazes me how fast technology and design of farm equipment has changed and evolved.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, Sally!
Love it! SO huge. When you are driving on the other side of the road and you see it coming toward you... scary. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI always have that same thought...that a small car could fit right under one.
ReplyDeleteNeat shot ~ bet a car could get under it ~ great observation and photo for Rurality ~ thanks,carol, xxx
ReplyDeleteI've seen these too, they are really odd looking, but seem to work as they re designed... Thank you for coming by to share on Rurality Blog Hop #40!
ReplyDeleteA familiar sight. They fly around the fields here and sound like jets.
ReplyDeleteNice capture...am surprised there's not a long line of cars behind it♫♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/out-the-window/
ReplyDeleteThe tractor is tall like that so it won't hit high center when it passes over those B-52 size Minny-so-ta mosquitos! :-)
ReplyDeleteInSPIREd Sunday is up early at «Chez la Vache»
Nice photo! Not something often seen around here though...
