Yair . . .
I have been on the road awhile and chanced to happen on a few folks watching a stickshift D7 digging out a real large stump.
I parked up and joined them and listened in delight.
The operator knew what he was doing and was pushing the old girl pretty hard, she'd lug down and grunt and you could almost count the cylinders firing and then he'd throw the clutch . . . but never once he stalled it.
A couple of blokes were going on about how the thing was f****ed and the operator was killing it and an engine shouldn't bog down like that.
They had obviously never heard a DD working and I tried to explain the tractor was running fine, the engine coupled to the tracks with no converter but I don't think they were convinced.
Cheers.

Unique sound of a direct drive working.
