Dear Readers, This is what you call one big honkin' truck in farm country. Anywhere else, it would be called a menace to society. Cash in your farm subsidy check for $200,000 and pick yourself out the Alton F650 with a Caterpillar V8. Inside is the regular stuff you find on any tractor: surround sound, 42 inch Plasma, 4 computer workstations. The cool part? It has a train horn. Sincerely, Al Gore's Worst Nightmare
