The Farm Boys Fantasy truck team created a unique truck by taking a diesel engine out of a John Deere tractor and placing it into a Dodge Ram 1500 truck. They also designed a new suspension and gave it a new custom paint job and interior. The truck is powered with environmentally friendly bio-diesel fuel.
The Farm Boy’s Fantasy truck will be used as a support vehicle at county fairs, tractor pulls and other events to tow the group’s 2010 national award-winning engineering design project, the Bleedin’ Green Pulling tractor.
For that project, the 2010 Ross engineering design team took a John Deere 4020 tractor and re-designed it into a V-8 hot rod pulling tractor, a project that not only took first place in the Skills USA regional and state competitions, but placed second in the national competition.
The Bleedin’ Green tractor continues to pull at county fairs and tractor pulls across Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.
