      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.

      Certainly still needs more sound proofing from what I observed & heard. She's still far too loud to be sitting in there cranking along, without wearing additional hearing protection for 8 to 12+ hours at a time.
      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.
      I'm all for keeping things original, but sometimes certain modern updates to any machine are very needed, for the health and well-being of the operator.

The power steering was a great change. I could park all my equipment in the tire rut this beast makes. That 3000 acre field pretty mind blowing since 40 acres is the most I've ever worked. It's a whole different animal out there. Amazing!!!
