a mutant tractor with iron wheels - a7iii

am living in Thailand where rice fields are common everywhere. never seen such a machine in use in here, farmers are using "iron buffalos" instead.
 
My wife's uncle was a rice farmer in California, over forty years ago the fields were leveled with a laser controlled tractor and seeded by airplanes. Maybe this guy is on to something.
 
Interesting view.

Very cool, farmers are farmers, they have a problem/need, they address it with what they have.

Steel wheel tractors are common here - our Amish farmers use them as portable power units. They are not used for plowing, cultivating, or harvesting - teams of mules or horses do that. This time of the year, there are also century-old steam tractors around, used to sterilize the soil before tobacco is planted. They are truly a sight on the public roads.
 
Having suffered through the use of the a7 and a7II, I thought the title of the thread was perhaps a review of the camera...
