Prairie Monster: We take Roger Desborough's Twin City 40-65 for a spin

摘要

There are big tractors; and then there are big prairie tractors. And then there is Roger Desborough's Twin City 40-65 - a monstrous beast believed to be currently the largest prairie tractor in the UK and the only '40' outside of North America. Roger bought the Twin City last year from Missouri and had it transported 1,000 miles by road to the nearest port for shipment to Britain via Liverpool. Although the tractor was basically sound, there was considerable wear to the final drives. Roger has had new pinions made and the teeth on the bull gears have been laboriously built-up using a MIG welder.
