I know, it's not officially a tractor but it was classified as one in the UK back in the day. It has a front and rear PTO and all sorts of farm equipment could be ordered and run off it. The man I bought it from said he used to run a haybailer off the rear PTO.
These ones were also called tractors for all their solidity: Gammal Volvo Amazon och Volvo PV. Some of the PV drivers are now using rollator when walking. A lovely attitude. The Swedish comment "Så här är det nog i himelen" means "This must be how it is in heaven"
Talked to an old Mexican rancher south of Ensenada about the history of his ranch. He was the first to settle there, and did so before the road was graded down the steep escarpment to his valley with the springs and oak trees. The existing road was up on the far side of a ridge, about 2000 very rugged vertical feet above the coastal plateau part of his property, downstream from his rancho to be.
He broke the tractor down to its components and hiked them all down to the flats, and then hired 8 hombres to carry the engine down intact, slung between two poles made from tree trunks. Once the parts were down he reassembled it and proceeded to build his new home. It was decades before the road finally got put in, and in the meantime he lived there with no car or truck, just the tractor.
The only spot in Baja I've ever rinsed off after surfing in a clean, spring fed stream, right on the beach.
