"Happy Hooker"


In 2010 PQS designers decided to build off of the 3rd place finish in 2009. The efficient drive line was kept and additional engine was added to make PQSo10 a 5 engine two wheel drive tractor. This could not have been done without significant changes in order to gain the weight necessary.

The PQSo10 was equipped with an aluminum housed Cub Cadet transaxle. And instead of clutches on each of the engine shafts, a single vogel mini-spline clutch was introduced.
PQSo10 stayed with the traditional mechanical steering but, used electronic servos and trigger lever to control the throttle.














The frame was again made out of bent sheet metal, but in order to gain servicability the gearboxes were mounted on the top side of the frame.

Overall the 2010 tractor placed 5th.
