As above. A cool thing. I can see the sort of concept of it. Dread to think of the cost mind including the attachments. Powered by some massive diesel engine but the wheels are driven electrically IIRC?

Should have been called the ‘NextA’.
Who is the Next Arsehole we can get to buy such a ridiculous concept?

It won’t be me, because it couldn’t even get into our village, let alone down the road to any of the fields.

Was there a version of this idea knocking around in the 80s 🤔 I can vaguely remember a blue gantry type thing with a detachable drill and power harrow 🤔

David Dowler did a lot of work on the concept in the 80’s and built machines to work on his own farm, he did a lot of work on controlled traffic in the days before farm level gps. Interesting chap. IIRC he had a combine he had converted to tracks and was using a tracked tractor for primary cultivatons.
