A TRACTOR WEIGHS WHAT IT WEIGHS. THE SECRET IS WHERE THE WEIGHT LIVES — EIGHT HUNDRED KILOWATT-HOURS LAID FLAT IN THE FLOOR, A CENTRE OF GRAVITY LOWER THAN THE AXLE LINE.
ONE LINE OF LIGHT
NO PISTONS, NO GEARS TO HUNT, NO TANK TO DRAIN. THREE MOTORS MEASURE OUT TORQUE LIKE A HAND ON A ROPE — FORTY TONNES PULLS AWAY LIKE IT FORGOT ITSELF.
Creating a new class: HEV
THE CAB SITS AHEAD OF THE NOISE IT NO LONGER MAKES. GLASS, WOOL AND ONE SHEET OF POLISHED ALUMINIUM — A QUIET ROOM DOING SIXTY-FIVE THROUGH THE PINES.
