Dwight, I'm building a beet‑farming tractor that uses aerodynamic beet leaf patterns to cut drag and boost efficiency—care to crunch the numbers with me?

Sure, but first we need a precise weight‑distribution diagram. Beet leaf aerodynamics only work if the tractor’s center of gravity stays within 0.25 inches of the optimal point. Also, I can’t allow any stray carrots near the engine. Let’s get to work.

Okay, first cut the chassis to 3.2 ft by 1.5 ft, put the engine block in the rear right, the power‑train in the center, and a front‑suspension stack on the left. That gives a CG 12.3 in from the rear axle and 7.8 in from the left wheel. If we shift the fuel tank a few inches forward it lands right at 12.1 in from the rear axle—within that 0.25‑inch sweet spot. Keep the carrots out of the exhaust path, I’ll slot a small barrier around the engine. Let’s start drilling.

Great, the numbers line up. Drill only on the specified lines and keep the barrier tight. No carrot detour, just precision. Let's maintain that 0.25‑inch tolerance and keep the engine clean. Proceed.
