T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #3 Posted January 14, 2010 I merged your two threads into one - it'll be easier to follow. I never heard nor seen a Twister tractor before, interesting looking rig. Nice job on the restore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildman 205 #7 Posted January 15, 2010 They called that specific rig Twister. Because it moved faster than a prairie Tornado. Nice looking rig! -Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,337 #8 Posted January 15, 2010 Very cool lookin machine . Can you give us some info on it like what powers it, ground speed, tranny, etc.... Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rideawaysenior 25 #9 Posted January 15, 2010 I know where there are two of those just rotting away. Both are in restorable condition too. The ones I've seen I think are all wheel drive. They look similar to the newer Steiners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edwroy 138 #10 Posted January 16, 2010 The Twister Tractor has a 16 horse Briggs and Statton engine. Four wheel drive and swivel in the middle. Has two speed forward and one reverse transmission. Three point hitch. The loader is a Soo loader. I bought a second Twister in Gettysburg, PA. It is unrestored. Where are the two that could be restored?

MRM 4 #13 Posted January 21, 2010 The Twisters jack is talking about are in my yard where i live they are not mine. They belong to the property owner, the only thing wrong with one is the belt letgo and he parked it in the field 10 or 12 years ago. I have been after him for quite some time to sell it to me and he won't let it go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
