EKALAKA — A South Dakota farmer finally found his tractor, which disappeared in a tornado, in Carter County, Montana, the Capital Journal reported.

Doug Davis's 10,000-pound 1974 Case 1070 was plucked directly up, not even bending the wheat grass that surrounded it, and landed more than a mile and a half away in another state.

“All the big pieces are in Montana. All that is intact is the engine and a busted half of the transmission on the rear end. The duals are gone, the front axle is gone. We found two tires and three rims off the rear wheels. It skipped for over a quarter mile after it hit. It snapped the housing off the rear axles. I had cast-iron weights on the duals and they flew another quarter mile from the engine and transmission. I have found parts as far as three miles away,” Davis told the Pierre, S.D. newspaper.
