Auto Credit Based on jlewisifer's AG Challenge!

Just for inspiration, obviously not gonna rank my own entry. Before I was interested in aviation, i used to restore old farm tractors. The Allis Chalmers RC was a 1940's farm tractor that was underpowerd for its size, but designed to use up surplus parts from other models and attempt to fill a niche in the tractor market... it failed. Any how in SimplePlanes its good that a tricycle front end tractor is underpowerd as it would otherwise have a tendancy to tip over (Reliant Robin style). The RC is attached to a manure spreader cause Maywar Island isn't going to fertilize itself.
Pitch-foreward and backward.
Roll-steering.
Throttle- shifter.
Trim- crank start.
VTOL-'Nure spreader.

    @InternationalAircraftCompany It should be linked to the back wheels... try pitch fore and aft. Pitch is what is set as the engine input.

    Why isn't the engine connected to any of the wheels?
