What does "Kraftidioten" translate to? Thanks.

Am I right that it is the superlative of "idiots"?

Just for the record, the ploughing company's name "Brøyting og Anlegg" apparently means "Ploughing And Buildings".

Literally "power idiot", meaning a complete idiot.
However, thing is that the expression is not in daily use, it seems stiff and dated, so it isn't really much of an insult. More in the direction of having a geekish sincle-tracked mind.

It means The Prize Idiot.

And it fits very nicely in regards to the character it is meant to pertain to.
