    I'd say it's the standard one, just way up on power - is that a truck engine though or what?? Sounds rorty even by truck standards. Looks brilliant though - just imagine the fun you could have on a tractor run!

    it could'nt be the standard gearbox, as the gearing would'nt allow those speeds, regardless of the uprated power. Plus, the high waves of torque placed on the standard box from the new engine, would wreck the standard gearbox in no time.

    It reminds me of that lad up in Navan who had a Ford truck sixer in a Fordson - he could go down the road like a ferrari!

    A big petrol engine on the standard tractor gearbox would take the torque , and the extra rev range would certainly cause a speed increase

    Someone is going to die on one of these. How they steer them at these type of speeds amazes me.

    Pure skill!:pac: If you've ever turned hay for interminable hours flat out on a 135, you can steer anything! No matter how fast.:D

    Doubt the gearbox would allow for the speed tho.

    It must be something out of a big american truck, F150 or the like
