    1. is this the modern day, military industrial complex version of “turning swords into plowshares”?

    2. Gas might be a bit much compared to a tractor rig.  What with thousands of pounds of steel armour and all.

    3. Of course it’s a british chieftan

      But also serious note, after WW2 a lot of surplus M3 lee tanks we had left over were used for farming

    4. Having the track running in the rut from the previous run is a good way to keep your furrows straight.

      Mr. Hewes from You Tube. He restores Tanks.

      As far as i know, a lot of old tanks the british army sold where bought by farmers. Just for a joyride on their fields.

      So Mr. Hewes wanted to test, if a tank could be used for serious farm work.

    6. Someone told me ethat after WW2, spare tanks were used as bulldozers by just driving them through houses in my hometown. No idea if true, but i like it.
