Looks to have a second steering wheel when on the trailer.

I saw that too but wasn't certain I wasn't seeing something that was not really there. Must be how he steers the trailer but how does it all connect??

Mactractor,
Not sure of the model. An uncle got a Fiat with a steering wheel about 1950 as I remember FWIW

I'm thinkin' he'd pretty much HAVE to be driving it off the PTO, and the second steering wheel probably drops down through a hole in the deck to steering box of some sort.
The one thing I'm seeing, is the hard casters up front... he selected these in order to keep the drive-over clearance, and of course, they're close together to permit tight turning, but I certainly wouldn't want to run that setup on anything shy of a REALLY hard surface, and wouldn't want to run it on anything where there's much of a camber to the road, lest it dumps over sideways. The rear tires are INSIDE the envelope of the tractor's treads, so the triangle-of-stability is very narrow, and the composite center-of-gravity, while low, is still very high within a very narrow segment of that triangle... Think he's got brakes? |
