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 wonder what kind of sound that combo makes, coming, and going!

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?
