    "In the '60s Poland it was almost impossible to acquire a tractor in
    Poland. Agricultural machines produced by the country were available
    mainly for state-owned enterprises. For private farmers these tractors
    were too expensive and they weren't even robust or efficient enough for
    the mountain region. Out of necessity they constructed their own
    machines using spare parts and bits and pieces from whatever machines
    they could find. Including decommissioned army vehicles and pre-WWI
    German machines."

  5. Not quite what I was expecting. Are there no earth mover sized things
    with tracks on?

    Well, that's "better" if it's /less/ OT.
    Or did you mean *more* OT?

    I meant "less OT" where "OT" stands for "on topic".

    I just looked at the second one down and thought it would be ideal for
    elefantreffen type terrain: ie, the stability, the traction in snow.

    Might not be so successful for blasting across the continent, however.

    no, I really did, though I accept in retrospect that it's fucking
    nonsense.

  13. Good point. It looks like he's towing the shed that's behind him.
    Not if you want your house in one piece when you get there, no.
