10 Forgotten Tractors That Were Years Ahead of Their Time

What if the future of farming was already invented... over 60 years ago? A tractor powered by 1,008 fuel cells. A jet turbine tractor. A machine with two engines bolted together. The first turbocharged production tractor. A modular harvesting system decades before manufacturers called it "platform engineering." Most of these revolutionary machines failed in the marketplace—not because they didn't work, but because farmers weren't ready for them. Today, the world's biggest manufacturers are bringing those same ideas back. In this documentary, we explore the incredible stories behind the Allis-Chalmers Fuel Cell Tractor, International Harvester HT-340, Wagner TR Series, Mercedes-Benz MB-trac, Trantor, International Harvester 4300, Doe Triple-D, Case 1200 Traction King, Allis-Chalmers D-19, and the pioneering Minneapolis-Moline Uni-System.
