RA'BA TR25 "Toldi" [MBC version]
This is a mining vehicle built for Alistair's Mining Build Challenge, named after a hungarian folk hero who served the kings wine on a millstone and became his protector knight.
The small 25hp tracked tractor with this mining implement is meant for smallscale mining in hard to reach areas, and its main feature is its affordability (coming in at the low price of 28600) This made it a very good entry to goldmining entrepeneurs. (I recommend mining some gold at Brainz Trainyard)

General usage advice
Let the drill spin up in neutral, pressing the throttle and engaging the PTO at the same time can stall the engine.
The gears are more for setting your top speed and for fun, but i dont recommend going above 2 with the drill on.
Balance isnt the best, the tractor is noseheavy, but with the implement on and full it will be back heavy. Keep it in mind.
As with most tracked vehicles, stagger your turns: dont hold A/D, but do small burst for angular turns, it will make the engine happier
Since the space update i recommend filling small tanks right after spawn, they can hold more than they spawn with.
And dont forget to have fun!
