Was listening to newstalk. These farmers have raised a **** load of money for charity. Good cause.

The prizes look cool. Ive no use for a tractor but wouldnt mind winning one.

WTF would you want a tractor with no cab?? In our weather, or in hot climates, a disaster whichever? Cannot understand the market for big HP open cabs. OK, maybe no cab is handy for orchards etc, but what use is a high power machine with no cab - you either get dust or mud??

mr_happy · 07-10-2010 1:22am

I live in the City, Id still love one of those tractors for the weekends for some off roading.

I see it kicking off soon now

If you get some chains you could tow anything behind you with a big tractor.

The gates of govt buildings would come clean off.

Open cab tractors might not be as common now but they would have a been a lot more common a few decades ago. Go to any agricultural show and you will a lot of the vintage tractors had to cab. Depending on what work you are doing having no cab can be beneficial.

You can use tractors for pulling ploughs and then um planting spuds and stuff too! :pac:

I'm just asking,ok, but I see no mention of age on these fantastic prizes. That 3rd prize Toyota Corolla would be an 1992 model now would it?

:pac:

Ever wondered how eggs and carrots are manufactured? Quite a complex industrial process, these days.
