Default how not to operate a tractor

Got handed this url for a "how not to operate a tractor on ice" Notice that none of the tractors are Green, therefore the sanity of the operators is suspect at the start. We JD owners would never think of getting on an icy, empty parking lot and sliding our equipment around like a bunch of kids

And they are not exactly small tractors.
They seem to be pretty good at it. Would that be some fun or what?

Boy do the Germans know how to have fun in the winter or what?

Guilty as charged. I have been known to do that on the old International from time to time in the winter. It is a blast.

I grew up in the north driving on lakes, but the last time I did anything like that I wrecked (really bad) my brand new pick-up. . . **** light post.

I have done it to some degree just plowing my driveway with my little JD 4100 when its a bit icy.

Independent rear brakes makes it easy to get the tractor turning tighly, then release and power drift around the corner.

That looks a lot like the tractor ROXYNOODLE test drove awhile back. Germany my foot, didn't she say the cops showed up to answer a call about a stolen tractor. That's pretty funny video.
