    Rare John Deere trike

    I received this picture from a buddy of mine who actually works at John Deere. He doesn't know who made it but got a chuckle out of it.

    Way cool, don't you think??

    You know they are making quads now and they look pretty cool. Too bad they were big back then or they might have made trikes.

    My friend is a product development engineer for their ATVs. He's shown me some product specifications for potential new sport/unility ATVs that emphasize "sport" a bit more and "utility" a little less.

    That been said, I suppose any trike they would have made would've looked like a green and yellow Big Red!

    Why did you have to go and do that...

    Now we'll have to add that to our collection of hazzardous transportation.

    Wonder if we could make that street legal?
