: just read a sale bill for an auction Saturday. It listed a Hefty G melon tractor, never heard of it before, just curious, any info appreciated
Hefty Model G built 1970's by company in Kansas(?). Designed like AC model G, used same pusher style implements, had Mitsubishi 2 cyl. diesel. Hefty also made model designed to replace Ford n-series tractors, designed similarly w/continental gas or mitsubishi diesel engines. Too much competition from Japanese manufacturers forced Hefty out of market.
