I know this pic has been posted before, but anyway here it is again with another. Taken at Naracoorte National Machinery Rally a few years ago, this machine was farm built. Features twin 6-71 GM's. There is another pic somewhere with the specs that I will endeavour to find.

Broadacre Farming exhibit

The Broadacre Farming Exhibit is largely made up of the various tractors used across the Central Highlands during its early farming years. 98% of the tractors are operational. Incorporated are tractors and machinery from the Queensland-British Food Corporation era of 1948
