Back in the day of “Turbine Fever”, many manufacturers were looking in to the feasibility of them. One these many companies was International Harvester and even though using a turbine for farming is just a bad idea due to the amount of air needed for it to operate (too much dirt and dust). Their R&D department was still tasked to check it out to see if anything could come of it.

Turbo-electric makes some sense. Geared shaft turbine farm tractors make sense only if no one in the marketing group has ever been on a farm, been near one, or never watched a cartoon featuring farm work. (Designers would do it just because its a terribad idea and funny as hell.)
