Awesome
I think it's beautiful  The only problem I see in the design is the steering looks to be a little "heavy"  |

sorry, the original design was for a horse but it transitioned into the Loush 12HP iteration as seen in the picture when the combustion engine came along. I do hear however they will be offering a turbo charged version in the near future, maybe this would work for you?

V-Man The guy who owned this visited my factory this morning and I had to take a picture of it, the more you look at it, the more it becomes a piece of work. Beauty is cetainly in the eye of the beholder in this case for all things mechanical. I'm betting with a few coats of paint and some chrome work on the Loush engine it would be a real show stopper.  y'think?
While it looks heavy it is surprisingly easy to "steer".

Now that is quite a machine. The front looks a lot like a rototiller that I used to have but it had more power. It would be fun to have one all fixed up and show up at a car show with it. I bet they would have a devil of a time deciding which class it would go in.

Ron, you are right, it would be a blast just to show up and some top end car show with Ferraris n' Porches n' Bentleys n'all and Cobras of course, and take pictures of the dude's lookin' down their noses while deciding where they should place this beast. Do they have a category for unconventional pieces of work?
Lets see:
Original cost: $1250
Transportation costs to the USA: $5000
Prepping for the car show: $10,000
Look on the faces of the judges: Priceless.
