"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."

where "better" = "more pictures but less OT for UKRM".

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".

Not quite what I was expecting. Are there no earth mover sized things

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.

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.
