John Deere Hover Tractor
06/30/2004
Farmers of the future, or farmers on other planets, have evolved past the need for tires on their tractors. Without tires, the tractors don't damage the farm fields, so more plants can be put on each plot of land, thus increasing food density.
This particular model is John Deere's most popular for the smaller farm. It's also frequently used for mowing large fields. It has a tow hitch on the back for any attachment. There are two sets of engines: the rear ones provide lift and forward propulsion, while the front cluster provides vectored thrust to the left and right for turning.
It was an inspiration, and I had to whip one of these out. It only took a couple of hours, as many of my little guys take. It's a pretty simple and standard construction build, with just a little bit of SNOT action on it.
