Midnight Deere sold!

The alky burner super stock tractor called ''Midnight Deere'' of the Carle Motorsport Team'' from Neuenstein in South Germany was sold without the engine to a new owner near Bremen in North Germany during the winter/spring of 2020. The Team around Marcus and Benjamin Carle competed with the John Deere 4440 for around 2 1/2 years in the 3.5t / 7700lbs super stock class. The John Deere only had a 7.6l 6 cylinder engine with 2 Holset turbochargers and an Indy aluminum cylinder head and ran pretty well against the much bigger diesel-powered super stock and alky super stock tractors in that class.
In 2017 and 2018 they finished in runner up position in the German Championship point standings with the Midnight Deere.
After a broken crankshaft on the engine at the German Championship season finals in Sonsbeck 2018, the engine of the John Deere 4440 wasn't built up new and stood since that in the workshop of the team because Marcus and Benjamin had decided to spend the money into their new John Deere component super stock project for 2020.
But which plans the new owner of the tractor has in the future is currently not official or known.
