      Well, ten million IS a mystery, but from a benign spectator's standpoint, that's a ground shaking piece of equipment. So, what do you DO with it?

      To pose a question back to you car guys, at times it's blowing black smoke out of one side and white smoke out the other, and...what's up with that? Diagnose that for me, if you're holding the wrenches.

        I'm with Jim. I do like the comments though. "Transform already" and "I like the part where it was sitting there doing nothing" :D

        I do think it sounds cool when they fire up one of the 793 haul trucks in the shop. That low rpm rumble that gradually picks up speed until it's idle rpm it reached. Takes 5-10 seconds, like a beast waking up from a nap and stretching out.

          that vid did climb alot..
          10.5 million.. wow.

          I liked it, as I remembered starting a 2 cyl diesel in the frigid..

          I lived in a very quiet place, half hours at a time, not a single noise except cracking trees in a small breeze.

          whirl it over so ever slow... one thump every 30 seconds, awaiting that curve of gaining... kinda funny.

          the btus that emit immediately, 2 cyl tiny or not, that diesel once going really cracks nature. The heat just over rules, and never goes too far.

          the detroits are slobs... that guy could be a six or 8 regular 4 stroke in that big bad tractor...err "big bud" tractor. I guessed that why it is parked looking new.

          the death rate and fairy tales cannot kill the nature left behind.

            Here is the spec page.



            I found it surprising that it could work more than one acre per minute.

              80 foot wide implement...needs to cover 544 feet in one minute to do an acre/minute.

              8 mph is 704 feet/minute...yeah, it can do it.
