There is two different types, there is A-Traktor and EPA-Traktor. Main differnce is that suspension is allowed on the A-Traktor.
On Epas you could only use cars with frames, thats why so many Volvo Duetts have been converted to tractors (It's hard to find regular Duetts these days).
On A-traktors you must use unibody cars and thats why we can see newer 'tractors' these days.

And BTW I don't know if this applies to both types but one of them must have two gearboxes welded togheter.

And as you said ingo, tow-bar is a must, the Volvo 740 above doesn't have one and therefor it's illegal!

cars like that have been popular in Sweden. There was an ancient law, that you could drive cars, converted in a "tractor" (two seats, no suspension at the back axle, a towing-bar - @atom: have I missed something? ) with 16 years, not with 18.
So several cars were diverted to a "tractor" in the meaning of the Swedish law.

I like the Volvo pickup with wood box ...



The orange VW Jetta should be a transformer in the new upcoming 2009 Transformers 2 movie.

Or I guess you could just drive your yellow PV instead, and save the 242 for a sunny day.

@BlackIce_GTS: Those wheels are called DOTZ HANSO

@taxiguy: Snow is no problem in the summer. If it rains you leave it at home or hate life But it not much of a problem if you're going fast on the highway it just blows over.

Nice work on that 242

I like the 780

The custom "convertible" you made does not appear to have a top. What do you do when it rains or snows?

Nice work, looks like a fun project for the summer. Since it's got no roof at all, you could call it a 242 Barchetta.

The C30 looks very ambitious, I wondered why it had a turbo, but no engine for a second. But it does have an engine, just not in the engine bay. It's got the same wheels as the 9-3, are they by the same tuner?

Having spent so much time on Jalopnik.com, I can't help but comment on the 740 'tractor', it looks very well fabricated.
