Any big old pre emission diesel does this. Leave it idle for a period of time and when you rev it up, it makes a cloud (before rolling coal was a thing).

My gravel truck does it, my old case tractor does it, the fish boat I ran did it. Pretty normal. My newer tractor with tier 4 emissions, does not smoke at all.
