: : I went to my club's anual picknick and tractor meet last weekend . While watching the tractor pulling I couldn't help but wonder why it is , and what kind of person likes the sound of those two cylinder John Deere tractors. I just don't understand how anyone can think that a JD two cylinder idling at 100 RPM ( putt-putt ) sounds good. Compared to the smooth throaty roar of a Farmall for instance, the sound of a two cylinder tractor is like the sound of a flushing toilet. And what's the deal with the horizontal pistons ? Why, its unAmerican . It must be like owning a Subaru only louder. : Flushing toilet eh? Maybe so, but any idiot can see which brand of tractor always wins the pulls, and believe me, where I come from it aint the red ones. After the pulls are over, the red tractors paint jobs and their owners faces match rather nicely. up here in southern Ontario Canada at any of the antique tractor pulls I go to there are not very many green ones that win in any class at the pulls,their owners are usually as green with envy as their 2 bangers at the owner's of the red winners going up to get their trophies.
