May we humbly present to you, the Rotary Hoe". It has been built by a man called Bob Blackwell, who has taken the world of rotary into unknown territory.Bob"s modified tractor is fitted with not one, but two Mazda 13b rotary engines producing a combined 600bhp.Though, there"s not much torque. A bit of an issue, considering the tractor is used to pull a heavy sled along a 35-foot wide, 330-foot long track in an odd form of motorsport called Tractor Pulling".The aim of the game is to pull a heavy, geared sled one that builds resistance the further it goes to try and complete the 100m dash. We"re not really sure why, but we also don"t really care when it sounds this good.
