Yup, I want one, but where would I put it? And there's not a lot of driver comfort and protection for the commute to work during the winter...

[itsa6911]

Yep... Early Cupholder-delete model....

[kidrock]

jeez, even their tractors are sexy.

A true Barn find!

I love these Portractors! Very rare in Oz , though one sold for around 22k earlier this year.

This is the rarest of all; a one-off coffee plantation special ex Brazil. I like to think of this as the "Moby Dick" of P tractors. They certainly worked on the coefficient of drag on this baby!

Here's my 1960 Super.

Very cool stuff, I did not know they made tractors, its kind of interesting that Lamborghini also made farm equipment before they made sports cars. I am a big fan of car history, Porsche in particular obviously but I always find stuff like this cool.

Would love one for clearing my driveway or moving the horse manure around

I have a buddy in the farm implement business, who also collects tractors. these are not very rare, and are pretty easy to come by. My dad used to have a Lambo tractor, it was great fun telling folks that he had a lambo, and then showing a pic of the tractor. Rumor is that the guy who founded lambo had a ferarri and complained to enzo that his tractor transmissions were better and enzo told him to go pound salt.

if you really want a P-Tractor, pm me and I'll send you the info on my buddies business.

My cousin was recently at the Lambo factory and came back and tol me the same Enzo Ferrari story except it was the clutch not the tranny.

Ref

a favorite saying of Mr. Porsche at the time was “A simple engine for a simple farmer cannot be simple enough.”

I recall the novel auto transmission design was to ensure there were no missed shifts amongst the simpletons of the time.

These tractors are very rare in Oz, thus I have a1/43 model in the post right now!
