I love my work

Been on the road for the past few days doing interviews and photo shoots. This afternoon I was driving and photographing this HUGE 1918 Huber 60hp gas tractor. I'm not sure about the engine size right now, but it's about 2000ci. When we were finished I snapped a shot of my girlfriend on the 9 foot diameter rear wheel (she's 5'11"). You should see her driving it! We have such a great time traveling and working together.

You need to look up the definition of WORK in your Funk & Wagnalls. You are obviously confused...

Guys! She's just there for scale.

These are the tractors we went out to shoot.

This one is a 1918 Huber. Weighs 24,000 lbs., 2000ci throttle governed 4 cylinder engine, 60 horsepower, max. speed about 3 mph.





This is the oldest farm tractor known to exist. An 1899 Flour City. 12,000 lbs, 9 hp one cylinder hit&miss engine. Only speed is 2 mph.
