Eight Wheel Ford F15000 is Half Tractor, Half Truck and All ‘Merican

So cool!



This eight wheel drive F15000 is the result of unholy matrimony between a Ford truck and a Massey Ferguson Tractor. The result is a massive caterpillar powered beast that's currently looking for a new owner.

When you first take a look at the F15000 it's a lot to process at one time. The trucktor weighs 18000 pounds and has an identical height and width of 10'7". A big part of the visual impact of the F15000 are the eight five and a half foot tires it sits on. As previously mentioned, a 1994 Ford F-150 and a 1973 1805 Massey Ferguson Tractor were put together to create this odd vehicle. What basically amounts to a Ford Truck body on tractor running gear, the F15000 has all of the mechanical advantages you might expect of a heavy farm implement, including hydraulic steering, an articulating body and the power of a 3208 Caterpillar engine.

Call it a T-Rex and it'd make a hell of a lineup with the Raptor

I'd love to drive something like that through Berkeley lol
