Tracks on the Back

While driving through northern Michigan I spotted this Kubota at a delaership. I though that this must be a custom tractor that someone produced for the harsh northern michigan terrain and winters. But upon review at the kubota website this is actually a "M128 Power Crawler." This tractor features tank like rubber treads coupled to an 8 spped transmission and 108 PTO horsepower. Very Cool. For more information about Kubota M series tractors.

Here is an interesting video of a wheeled M128X Kubota getting un-stuck form the mud. If you get bored just fast forward to the 1:16 mark and watch the tractor pull out.

There are a few Kubota toys out there (None of the M128X Power Crawler unfortunately) but from what I have seen Outback Farm Toys has the best selection.
