So you took the wheels off if you wanted track drive? Pretty slick.

I'm wondering if that's original or if it's custom.

I suspect the purpose is for transport as steel tracks with damage and be damaged by pavement. And considering the condition of the paint I don't think he plans to use the tracks

Looks like it would be much faster on the wheels with the larger diameter too.

I want one so bad just to keep in the garage and drink beer around with my friends as they stare at it in wonder

Correct. You would use the removable wheels to get it from field to field. I don’t know if it’s to prevent damage to the ground/roads, but I suspect it has to do with speed.

i think this is right. the front wheel is just an oversized swivel caster

Just spin them until they dig in deep enough for tracks to grab.

It basically converts to a bulldozer ripper attachment only on the front. Lil pre-rip action.

[-]

JP147@reddit

Yes that is the idea. The wheels are for moving between fields and easy transport.

[-]

AC-burg@reddit

No both the tracks and the tires have cleats for traction...

You could convert them. Front and back wheels all off, use just the tracks, or take the tracks off and use the wheels, or run both.

The Lamborghini in question:

GlockAF@reddit

Definitely cheaper than the cars, but these are still collectibles. The last couple that sold were in the $15,000 range

[-]

Willing_Big194@reddit

Yes ofcourse was just poking a bit of fu

[-]

There was a (i'm guessing 80s) big silver Lambo tractor that lived somewhere around where I grew up. I remember thinking nothing really of it until playing a game of categories years later and somebody brought up Tractors as a round, nobody believed me that Lamborghini even made tractors.

Just looked up a few pictures, pretty sure it was a 1306

Lamborghini Tractors was sold off in the early 70s to SAME, which later merged with Deutz.

[-]

EleanorRigbysGhost@reddit

Cool. They're still sold under the Lamborghini name though yeah?

[-]

mini4x@reddit

Yes, https://www.lamborghini-tractors.com/en-eu/

Willing_Big194@reddit

Epic!

[-]

willyolio@reddit

I'm surprised they were only 15k. I thought they'd be collectors items at this point, maybe worth ten times that. Unless they're just way more abundant than I realized.

[-]

Willing_Big194@reddit

Old John Deeres are the same price. There isnt necessarily a big market for these since theyre not really used for actual work, theyre a collector's item.

[-]

airfryerfuntime@reddit

They're pretty abundant in some places. Old tractors also just don't have that high of a demand compared to sports cars.

KittySharkWithAHat@reddit

I actually rode in one once at a tractor show so I can now tell people "I rode in a Lamborghini once!"

[-]

irishpwr46@reddit

I learned how to drive stick when I was 9 in a Lamborghini. This is the reason why

[-]

blickblocks@reddit

yeah and its sick as fuck

[-]

left_lane_camper@reddit

Yeah this is rad as hell. I drove behind a Urus for a while today and forgot about it entirely until just now but I’d tell all my car friends I saw this if I happened upon it.
