They are used to spray herbicide or something similar, and they are set up so high so that they clear the corn or whatever. I've ridden under one once on a motorcycle, but I wouldn't recommend it. Lots of random hoses hanging down, and if you get bumped you'd end up under a wheel strait away. Anything bigger than a Fiat 500 would be too wide to fit.

Better throttle response, mostly. On most engines, you're feeding all cylinders through a single common throttle body, so you need relatively long intake runners and so on, and on a closed throttle you get a vacuum behind the throttle flap. With ITBs, you get a straight flow directly into each cylinder. The total volume of air in the intake system is much less, so the engine responds much faster to throttle changes. The only real disadvantage is cost. KozmoNaut fucked around with this message at 08:53 on Sep 23, 2013 |

The worst agricultural vehicles to get stuck behind are the poop injection trucks. They bounce around on their cartoonish balloon tires just flinging liquidy poo poo everywhere.
