Powerhouse 18-ton twin-671 Chamberlain tractor

This mid-engine classic Chamberlain Tractor is an absolute workhorse. Powered by that old bulletproof ultra-reliable Detroit muscle, the twin 671s in this 18-ton monster propel its 12 huge wheels at up to 7 mph.
The 671 is a popular motor found in everything from working man’s agricultural equipment to military grade tanks, according to Diesel Duck. It makes short work of hauling all this bulk around. Even when saddled with an additional 8 tons of equipment, it hauls it with ease. Equipped with a 62-foot wide seeder with 105 seeding rows, this tractor can make short work of even large tracts of arable land. It is capable of sowing 55 acres an hour! ​

Completely custom built to the needs of the farmer, this dual-engine monstrosity took an experienced set of hands to bring together. The size and capability make it perfect for tackling the giant farms in Australia, where a single ranch can be bigger than many US states. The incredible size of these land holdings necessitates a different breed of machines, and this huge beast makes short work of its tasks.
Created for an almost unbelievable $12,000, don’t expect to find one of these at a store or farm near you; this guy is one of a kind. Despite this, we can all sit in jealous appreciation for a moment and watch it rumble across the screen.
