      You don’t need to be a total product expert to be excellent at marketing, in fact, that’s probably quite far down the list. Being a great communicator, negotiator and creative will come above product knowledge - you have sales people, technicians and engineers to do that bit.

    So it costs the same as a McLaren, has a similar power output and is road legal. And before anyone says: "Yeah but a McLaren is faster!" well here's the thing; A McLaren won't be faster in traffic. This QuadTrac may not be quick but you can just go over the cars in front of you! Oh and it has more torque.

I would imagine those buying this piece of equipment would also be very interested in customer support, possiblity of getting software to fix thier own product they bought to limit downtime, etc.

Dad bought two big cat bulldozers from the government took the motor out of one well actually everything away from it and we use that for an irrigation pump motor a big old CAT diesel and our piping had to be moved by hand the 20 foot links with a big gasket cuz it wasn't no rolling irrigation back then so to move it we had to take all the piping up move it down a field set to sprinklers up bolted all back together during the night so we can run it first thing in the morning. Yep that was a lot of fun then I got in the cab of a 1066 dad bought three of them at one time. Talk to dish the plows color Packers man I was making good time then no cabs of course.

I have quite a few friends in Cyr Plantation and Hamlin who grew up on potato farms, hell, I even worked for a farmer for about two years during the annual potato harvest. The smell of a running diesel engine and seeing the sunrise over the horizon was a beautiful thing to see every day. Working on a farm is a lot of hard work but, it can be very rewarding too.

      Pretty sure he meant compound turbochargers. He said one turbo feeds the other, that is a typical system used on big rigs and other big diesel engines.

      Agreed it is amazing, but it is not easier to drive than a normal [modern] tractor.
      So it requires a special operator, one who is more careful than most.
      The key issue when driving a tractor is not tearing the land up, which tracks makes both easier & harder. As a wheeled tractor will spin, telling you to slow down, while a tracked tractor won't tell you are f-ing up until you really F-up and need the tow cable under the front.

    I love most any tractor, but damn, this particular tractor by Case IH is just so sexy looking too. As a promo video, utilizing Jay Leno, with His sense of humor, timing and easy going demeanor, the video rolls along as easy as the tractor itself. Allot of technology packed into this gal. I love the general outline of the tractor. The color......awesome. Pricing is extremely fair considering the overall value and technology incorporated into it. Obviously she is smooth and easy to operate/drive. Very sexy looking........
    Excellent video. Best thus far.......🚜🍻

    I work for a millwright/ crane service construction company in Nebraska, about a month ago our 70t crane broke down, I was stranded on the side of the road, so I called a local farmer just a few miles away to pull the crane to his farm. He showed up with a Case Quadtrac and and we hooked up to the crane, now the crane weighs a little over 120k lbs and this monster of a tractor pulled me like i was a ford ranger. Unbelievable power!

    Funny how "city guys" think tractors are such a novelty. I can remember Dad showing me how to drive one when I was @7 or 8 years old.. Granted, we never had the big articulated models on the farm, but still big machines for a kid to be operating. That's definitely one highly advanced piece of machinery though.. It's also funny to me when people look at a Farmer's old beat up truck and comment about how poor they must be.. when they've got literally supercar money in some of their equipment stored, uncovered, in a dirt lot until it's time to use it.

      Growing up here in Bakersfield, I see it all the time. Beat to crap pickup trucks but millions of dollars in farm equipment. First tractor I learned to drive was a challenger, been addicted ever since. I believe it was a 65E, it seemed so big at the time but these modern tractors absolutely dwarf it.

      Growing up on a farm is where you learn to drive cat or tractor when you're 9 or 10. You get a lunch box and water jug as a summer gift. at 11 to 12 you rod weed during the summers. Much different labor standards and a better way of life to be honest.

    Hey Jay,
    I used to have a 1979 IH SCOUT CUSTOM DELUXE 4x4. DON'T snicker!!!
    It was a good, strong, sanely sized, reliable machine which served me well for almost 40 years!
    He didn't trust the comparable "JEEP" models like the CHEROKEE or God forbid the roll prone CJ's! He liked "IH" SCOUT II instead because of the heavy truck legacy they had and that unlike Jeep, IH manufactured almost everything in the machines it made. It was my DAD'S "gift" to me in my Junior Year in High School for working for him around his building since I was a young kid. (He was the SUPT. of an 84 family, multi-sized units: Studios up to 3BRm 5&1/2 total with 2BthRms and private balconies.) as "unpaid, in house" help.
    Heck! I even learned how to lubricate and manually operate the HUGE boiler that supplied HEAT&HOT WATER to the tenants. A job I did more than once, alone, when my DAD was too sick or exhausted to do so himself. He NEVER took a day off and only ONE proper vacation in 14 years on the job. Only a bad heart attack and his advanced age - 76 at the time. Already FAR beyond normal retirement! - forced him to finally quit. He was a real "hands on" SUPT. Did ALL the repairs himself, prepped apartments with his porters for the next tenants, even did the yard work on our extensive grounds. He wasn't a trained mechanic himself so he greatly admired those who were and engineers in general. You and he would've gotten along GREAT together!
    Our "FLAGSHIP" and my DAD'S pride and joy was a 1974 CHEVY CHEVELLE MALIBU CLASSIC 4 door SEDAN with 350-V8 engine. He could've ordered a much larger engine but this was the one in the model he test drove so he bought it. You know about this engine for sure right? Even in an over 2 ton car with 3 speed, non overdrive transmission, fully loaded with passengers and cargo... It could still easily FLY when you mashed the pedal to the floor!!! It was amazing and compared to his old, terrible 1969 6 cylinder NOVA?... THIS was a ROLLS ROYCE! We kept the MALIBU in the family, garaged, for 44 years! It was finally sold to someone who we knew would appreciate it as much as we did; because my Mom passed away and I couldn't keep it myself, it had to go but I weep for it every night. A lot of "firsts" and very pleasant memories in our lives were milestoned in it as is true for many of our cherished, motorized, four wheeled "friends", eh? You understand completely I'm sure.
    Sadly? I don't even have a photo of it to share with you. It was in a light green color with a matching vinyl roof. Bench seats. AM radio. An AMERICAN classic of the era.
    HUGE by today's standards the four door CHEVROLET CHEVELLE MALIBU CLASSIC of 1974 was actually considered a "MID SIZED" car?!!! Only the wider, larger IMPALA was classified as a "FULL SIZE".
    I've enjoyed your work since you first appeared on Johnny Carson's "TONIGHT SHOW" as a guest, then a guest host. You were FANTASTIC as his successor, all due respect to your rivals for the job.
    I try to follow EVERYTHING you do and I hope to one day catch your live nightclub act, hopefully nearby in one of the Connecticut casinos.
    Best of wishes to you and your family!
    Sincerely,
    Your fan,
