Hi
The question about an A6 diesel in General got me wondering about these and I found this page of videos explaining how they work.

Saw a couple of John Deere tractors, similar to this, at a local Agricultural Fair.

One of them was more "miss" than "hit" which provided several crowd scaring explosions.

The full size ones are good fun but I think the effort of making small scale models is a bit lost. They just don't have the nice big slow inertia of the real things.
