Thanks, Bill. Maybe while you're there take some pictures and maybe a video or two, if they let you and you have the time, that is.

Okay folks, here is my summary of the things I learned about the Tilmor tractor yesterday:
- development began in 2013 with Prototype #1, for an international market in developing countries
- learned that there was a need for a tractor like this in the US ("many producers have several tractors with a mounted implement that is not changed because of how hard they are to change")
- currently building prototypes #13, #14, and #15
- have prototypes in use for evaluation in the US and Central America
- got to see Prototype #5 (pics later)
- scheduled for sale in 2019
- will be available with gas or diesel engine
- hydraulic and electric outlets for front and back
- external hydraulic disc brakes
- quicktach lift arms
- integrated ROPS
- 4 speed transmission with two speed
- currently selling some implements for use with Farmall/International - Cub, Super A to 140
- working on developing planting equipment

I am not an engineer, but I was impressed with how well made they were.

Hope this sheds some light on the tractor.

Thanks, Bill. For some reason, I'm intrigued by these type tractors. Most people don't know, but when Allis was working on theirs, John Deere had one in works also. I have to try and find a picture of it.

Very interesting. Hope it doesn't kill the value and demand for the Cub and SA-140 tractors. Looks well made but still doesn't look like it will be an IH to me. Maybe with ease of changing equipment, but you can buy more than 1 RESTORED IH for the price of those to put different attachments on. IDK. we shall see.
