So, whatziss?

You may commence.  The pic came from an interesting source, too.

Update - the answer is here.

 I could disable it with a LAW, and cook the legs inside with fugas. As to what it is? I have no idea....

I have seen local hunters trucks with the same Walmart spray paint can camo pattern though!

 German? From MG on top? Recently painted, also. Bottom of blade not chipped, rims clean and painted. You're not fooling with us again, are you?  ;)

Typical Palestinian farmer's tractor.

it's a limited edition Johan Deeren Jaegerplowen, Mk III (mit pommes), refurbished for use in the movie Band of Brothers, in that one cool episode where the big guy has to hide in barn after he gets shot and he kills the kraut with the bayonet, and everything was dark and foggy outside and the director realized that he could slip one of these into the scene and nobody but the Armorer would notice.

evidently it also has a "reverb" module attached.

Gotta be a JCB Backhoe Loader - with the rear backhoe removed. Maybe some thin metal or plastic sprayed up with an excellent camouflage. Obviously great fun for a day out at a military show. Cool.

Geesh - Is that what farmers out in Doniphan County doing with their New Holland Tractors these days?  How can I do dat to my  old Neon?

Hmmm.  We know that the Armorer got hizzelf a tractor, but we have not seen it in action lately.

Definitely a castle in the background.

Must be the new, improved-- Remover, wheeled, trespassing tree stand hunter, M782.

LOL, looks like an armored farm vehicle, perfect for holding the hordes of venemous prairie dogs and rabid lab monkeys at bay. Has a cow plow too on the front. And that's not a MG on top, it's a remotely operated fertilizer gun, for the crops you know? It doubles as a rapid fire seed planter, just aim it down the furrow and 'br-r-r-r-r-r-r', a row of crops are planted.

My first guess was Polish Wz. 34 heavily modified. But the wheel base seems too wide for that.

Second guess is a SdKfz  in the 223 (radio) version that's been reworked into a gun car.

Batman's car from the next to the last Batman, pre black spray paint job.

This is obviously a defensive vehicle used to push away hordes of Asian Lady Bugs and regular Lady Bugs each autumn as they attempt to infiltrate homes, barns, outbuildings, etc.

Unfortunately, Chickens and Guineas do not have a taste for the billions upon billions of bugs that attack Castle Argghhh! Each faul.
 
By Beth Donovan on October 29, 2008 4:08 PM
Oops.  That is supposed to be each fall!!!

Faul.  Hmmm.  I'm trying, but I can't quit suss the Freudian slip hiding in there.  [Sits back and waits for Bill]

Heh.  C'mon, dude, check page 457 of your contract, subsection 324.55.3349A.

"Employee shall fufill the duties of Class Clown on demand, without demur."

Oh, and J(ntA) - while the Castle isn't new construction, it's in better shape than that.

Well, no, yes, even the small pole barn is in better shape than that.

It's a Zamboni pretending to be a wilderness snowplow.

 

Or Sarah Palin's armored car...

Sarah Palin's armored car...I like that.
 
By BloodSpite on October 29, 2008 6:32 PM
I'm gonna go with a Ford 555. Front End Loader. Doubt its an A Model because I don't see a Back Hoe attachment in the rear. I'd say its been modified *slightly*

"Employee shall fufill the duties of Class Clown on demand, without demur."

Well, I was gonna guess that SWWBO has been watching TV on the WayBack Machine and was remembering how you looked before you grew the chin spinach.

Ties in nicely with Mike's Raram facit mixturam cum sapienta forma comment, don'tcha think?
