More Triple Tractor Hookups
Here's another triple tractor hookup, built by Alvin Reimann of Irvine, Alberta. Alvin told FARM SHOW about his unusual tractor after reading about Charles Fairchild's triple hookup in Vol. 5, No. 6, and Donald Dufner's "triple" in our last issue, Vol. 6, No. 1.
Alvin built his triple tractor in 1963-64 using three 1949 John Deere AR's. He removed all three front ends and placed two tractors side by side at the back, and one in front in the middle. The triple hookup has just one gas tank, one radiator, one battery, one throttle, two hand clutches and one hand hydraulic steering lever. Most important, there are full-size tractor wheels, and of course, three motors.
"I farmed with the unit for a number of years and have since used it for demonstrations. It develops about 100 horsepower," Alvin told FARM SHOW.
