So yeah...After that I couldn't really recover and lost my gear :\ So either a tractor is about as brittle as a cracker, or I mostly just hit some sort of bug that trashed the tractor.  Real bummer too as it was green and nearly full on gas.

In comparison, the pedal bike, goes nearly 4 times faster than the boat, maybe 5 down a hill.  I thought the Tractor was bad, cause it's apparently easy to blow up, or even the ATV, cause it flips on any bridge, but the boat was the most horrible thing I've seen in this mod lol Damn me for being excited for finding two boats at the dock lol

Though there was the time that I was robbed by a bandit, my gun was taken, I was let go, his two friends showed up to intimidate me or something or do some bit, but then one guy shot me in the leg on accident, apologized, bandaged me, gave me morphine, the other guy gave me my gun back with more ammo, and then let me run off lol
