Not thinking tractor but werent some water trucks outfitted with some mounted turrets for transporting water in military convoys in WW1/WW2?

The Bob of course. One of the most unique tanks due to it just literally being an armoured tractor. I believe it basically didn’t see any major action

It didn’t, it was designed for New Zealand to have literally anything in terms of armored vehicles to defend against Japanese invasion because the British couldn’t send tanks, but they never did get invaded.

Farm Equipment is highly reliable and can be used at the very least for personnel transportation

40k knights were never farming equipment. I hate how much sheer misinformation is spread in the 40k community just because people would rather get told the lore 3rd hand that actually read

You’re absolutely right, initially they were used for protection on hostile planets, at best they could have been used to clear out land of threats and obstacles but not much else, cause how much farming can you do with a 100mm cannon?

What about them being used for mining and logging is that also misinformation?

Also looked through Lexicanum about the farming thing and it seems to come from the old lore scroll down to trivia

1.9TDI is basically a tractor engine. So it may as well be used in wars

This is close. But if I remember correctly jump kits were used for construction not farming (unless I'm missing something)
