This tractor was just bought by the Porsche repair shop in our town on the San Francisco Peninsula! Pretty cool conversation piece. Wonder if we'll see it in our town parades. The Santa Clara Valley used to be a big ag region, but that all slowly faded away starting in the 1960s when big business and big tech got roots and grew. In my 50+ years there, I've seen lots for local farms and orchards bulldozed for buildings, parking lots and freeways.
Will it do 0-60 in under 4 seconds?................
RPMs? Yeah.
For those Porsche fans who have not seen it.

Sixty feet in just under four seconds sounds about right.
If you were a Porsche collector this would be too cool!
Price a new tractor these days and some of the older, rebuilt JD or IH start looking better and better. $22k for this, go see what that same money will buy new, and it isn’t much.
My smallest utility tractor is a 1993 970 MFWD with the Yanmar engine, I turned down and offer for more than I paid new for it this summer.
DIESEL KNOCK!.......................

Drag time is crap but you don’t have to slow down for the turns!
Of course! 0-60 feet per minute in under 4 seconds.
Love it!! Thanks for the link to the advert! Totally unexpected ending.
Will it pass the State emissions test using a non-Porsche data port?
I always wanted one for no other reason than to be able to tell a date I'd pick them at 7:00, and that I'd be driving a white Mercedes.
Ping!
SOMEONE DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB ON THE RESTORATION.
I NEED TO FIND A RESTORATION SHOP FOR MY OLD IRON...AM I N NEVADA.
Absolutely kewl for a Porsche collector!
As a 928 guy, anything not a 992 these days is a refreshing flashback to times where care, engineering, hand building and quality were top priorities in production.
Too pretty to take out of the barn for sure....We had a red tractor on our farm when I was a kid. It was called a Farmall!!! Had cousins who would argue that their John Deere was a better tractor...all grown up and OLD and still argue about unimportant things!
It’s gorgeous, isn’t it?
