Now. . . it would be great to see Deere donate farm machinery to Ukraine to help rebuild. I have no idea of the politics of this company or its leadership. But my guess is that they will be among those front and center with support.

but it's pretty impractical, even stripped down. Those treads compact the coil too much. Gas mileage sucks, too.

Now fiutting them with hitches to drag all the burned out crap off to a scrap yard, that would work really, really well.

But the visual would be great.
Get a pretty girl with bibs on the turret. Also a circle with a slash over the Z.

the "Tractor pulling a tank" meme / metaphor is one that hopefully will last a long time.
