You don't need to worry about those farmers because this wasn't created for the general public or even for a small group of people. This is an example of technical expertise and a "because we can" mentality. It's great, in my opinion!

You know, the very first vehicle I bought for myself was a 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo. And I modified it to the hilt. I have a lot of respect for Volvo, their engines, and the odd situations they find themselves in. This is incredible! I'd want to drive up to this farm in this, burn some donuts, yell "VOLVO BABY!" and blast Deftones on the back because the father of my girlfriend's girlfriend is a farmer.

Actually older than 4 years, this video. Does anyone genuinely understand where it originated? This film was shown to me by a coworker at least nine years ago, and it was only by accident that I found it again after looking for it a few times here and there.

Those old vintage tractors were made to last for several lifetimes and even longer! When craftsmanship meant anything in the past! When I was a child, our neighbor owned a 1923 John Deere, and many years later, his grandson owned it. The engine never needed to be overhauled, and it still had excellent oil pressure. Additionally, they were easy to repair!

I learned how to start a diesel in cold weather from a logger. It takes some time, but it seems preferable to simply winding it and draining your batteries. He advised allowing it to make one or two revolutions. After letting it settle for a while, repeat the procedure. Keep going, and the engine will warm up due to the compression, saving you from having to wind on it for long periods of time.
