[AT] Farm Jeep

[James Peck]

You certainly could not fit half-tracks on them.

Did you pull a trailing low with your Scout?

The article mentions the rear differential overheating.

Howard Pletcher AT List Member AT List Member (hrpletch at gmail.com);Not to mention most any tractor would be better for farming use.  Having plowed gardens with my Scout, I know it takes a half acre to get turned around, visibility of the implement is limited, and row crop work would be out of the question.  It takes more than traction.  There was a reason why the Farmall Regular changed the face of farming.

Cecil Bearden AT list member, Oklahoma farmer, and Professional Engineer (crbearden at copper.net); Probably cost and the need for a larger tire footprint.  The 28in and larger wheels can roll over plow furrows a lot easier than 16in.

James AT List Member (jamesgpeck at hotmail.com);  Why, then, did the Farm Jeep not succeed?
