Weird anachronism?  Check.
70 year old infomercial?  Check.
Possibly dangerous misuse of motorized equipment?  Double-check,

Still, fun to watch and good for inspiring creativity / ingenuity / redneck engineering:

Be the shenanigans
you want to see in the world.

That's fantastic. If there were road vehicles that could also double as small tractors I would seriously consider getting one.

Following WW2 surplus jeeps were cheap and plentiful.  

At my age, Happy Hour is a nap.

Jeep backhoe says, "Hold my beer!"

And he said, "I want to live as an honest man, to get all I deserve, and to give all I can, and to love a young woman whom I don't understand. Your Highness, your ways are very strange."

More details.

Well looks to be for a ford tractor, wonder if this could be modified for the jeep...

So I noticed that the guy at around the six-minute mark in Mart's video was missing an arm. It looked like he was having a great time, but I couldn't help but wonder if there was a connection to the Jeeps.

There is no osha on a farm...      There is no room for error.     One of the guys in my graduating class fell into a conveyor belt and took off his arm.        As a teenager I was running a tractor with a 6 foot long sickle bar,    The PTO shaft very dangerous  as well.       I have all of my fingers by the grace of God, it is something you do with a plan.
