I was looking through Popular Science on line when I came across this photo gallery: http://www.popsci.com/node/48356/?cmpid=enews091610:thThumbsU

It didn't have any information on the tractor so I went Googling and found this: http://gizmodo.com/5637686/a-jet+powered-lawn-tractor-to-rule-them-all:thThumbsU

We need to get this guy to join the forum.

Dan

That's pretty dang ingenious. My wife will never be able to tell me I spend to much on my tractors again.

Pretty Cool. Funny thing is my Dad built one of these about 20 years ago, (It didn't look this nice). He put an APU in it with a big chrome stack out the front like this one. He was going to put a water injector in the exhaust so he could blow flames but I don't think he did. He tried to pull it at the local garden tractor pull but they wouldn't let him. He said it only had about 30 hp, but it was very intimidating. LOL

Turn the exhaust down and it would make a good snow melter.
