Hang on!

 Doing the rounds today I called in at a fellow smallholders plot for a cuppa when I spotted this beast parked by his front door which he bagged for less than the cost of a racing bike off Ebay. The bargain broke down on the drive home, ran out of fuel so his lovely wife towed him. Tractors of this ilk are designed for around 12mph which is a fact that was missed in the please give me tow communication meaning proud owner of new old tractor had a genuine white knuckle ride as he gripped the steering wheel for dear life as his wife, keen to get home, reached speeds 4x the designated max mph.
 Meanwhile back at the ranch I found Chester trying to alert the household to the fact that he was hungry.
Thankfully he has not learned to turn the door key.

Give him time....

I've sometimes wondered if a tractor like that would be useful on the Rock, or is the upkeep more than it is worth?

Mond you, this is coming from someone whose tractor is pedal powered...
