Not a terrible idea initially, blend in with farm equipment, excellent off road capability, small and nimble. However there’s a reason Geneva conventions require military personnel and equipment to be distinct from civilians.
Do you want all your civilian farmers blown up? Because this is how you do that.
Reminds me of this old Eastern Bloc joke (read it in a thick slavic accent):
Pravda reports imperialist forces unjustly and underhandedly attacked peaceful farm tractors of great USSR doing peaceful harvesting work. Our brave farmers returned fire and flew back to USSR territory.
There is nothing saying you can’t drive a vehicle. And many militarys literally own Tractors and similar stuff.
Ancient John Deere, while they were still good. I highly approve.
Bringing a modern day John Deer to the battle field would result in being stalled while waiting for a proprietary software update, which is suboptimal while under artillery fire.
Ha, exactly what I was thinking about the proprietary software updates for the recent models (2010+?) !
Not sure when it started, plus my personal experience with JD stems from a tractor that was built in the 70’s. I think the model was 1033 or thereabouts.

Does anyone remember the Forgotten Hope mod for BF42? A few maps had driveable tractors which were literally slower than the player walking speed.
At least this is an upgrade from those.
Those are some big bolts! I would think dropping nails on the road would be more dangerous than dropping bolts, though, for attacking enemy tires.
(City boy, not even a pleeb, so everyone else knows those are not just big bolts except me)
Alright, I want bright green vehicle camo to really contrast the dark green uniforms.
And the guys?
Blackface.
I see the Ukrainian alt army got upgradw on the infantry side.
Wrong continent, buddy.
Sorry, didn’t know jokes needed to be geotagged on this instance.
