I'm going to say that if you are going to claim that your diesel is big(ger) I want stats.
Give us displacement, or if you want to calim the vehicle is bigger give weight and/or dimensions.

The winner will be the person with the ship, I think.

Because the barn that the equipment sits in does not make money! The equipment (tractors and such) are what make the money. Barns, sheds, and other such structurs are just a bonus for a crop farmer, not a necessity. Farming is not all riding around in tractors, farmers are what built this country and what keeps it going!
