I'd be scared that it would flip over if it wasn't on perfectly level ground. Very strange looking. I see it's 2wd too.

Very unique to have in a specialty, unusual tractor collection.

You need a very large wallet to collect tractors of all things. I have 2 and the wife bellyached like crazy when I bought the second one. In fact I had to sell one to have two because three was a crowd in her view.

Mine are a bit bigger though.

Rims are dished out; he's OK. I can't work out how or if the front axle pivots.

looking at the steering arms at the top just below bumper. my guess is they attach to shafts that run down inside the front tubes on each tire. The shaft pivots via the steering arms and turns front wheels

They have blocked the front axle pivot, otherwise it would throw the tractor on it's side.

That thing has to be a scare to drive on any uneven no flat terrain!

coachgeo, Axle pivot, side to side rocking of the front axle, not steering.

I know someone was looking for a L245HC recently. Not sure if it was on here or somewhere else. Interesting setup. Seems that folks that have been using them like them and if you plan everything (row layout, etc) around the tractor, when you need another, you prefer one exactly the same.
