This falls under the operating category right? Tractor Stunt

And some folks think tractors roll over too easy!!

Some people jsut have too much time on their hands to think about stuff like this...
I wonder if my cousin Swizzle Stick saw this? I hope not!! it make make his wife... Lady Yarrm go nuts!!!

Just have to be sure the ps relief is set high enuf. If it relieves when your trying to steer out of the lean youre going on over.

wonder how many "dumps" they had while perfecting the stunt...

looks like the people over in GB have lots of time to spend. Purty soon your gonna see him roll over and find him in the obituaires. Cool but just stupid

Seat belt use is recommended with any ROPS. I'm not sure how he'd die if it tipped over and he is belted in. Looks entertaining. Too much time? Yeah, that's what all the other Saturday night junkies have, too, right?

Cool but stupid? Yeah, just like a hundred other things people do for fun or for the challenge. And I'm pretty sure those are Australian accents.

I've been inspired to stop cutting my bank out front by hand!

And is it me or does that guy look like a younger version of George Bush Jr?

Yeah...don't forget to post your results in the safety forum (after you get your tractor back on it's four wheels).

Exactly what I thought!

G'day yes it is an aussie accent and the footage must be about 25+ years old looking at the guy doing the interviewing, He and his brother used to have a travel show where they would go around the country and loook at a heap of attractions that weren't as well known and that show hasn't been on since the mid to late 80s

YES! Really!

I told my son not to try that with our tractor. I guess if I see a ramp being built, I know he didn't listen.

powergod1 · May 15, 2011

just wonder how someone comes up with that idea and at what point does it sound like a good idea?

There used to be a stunt driving team touring county fairs that did stunts like that with a fleet of Camaros or Dodge Challengers (or similiar). Don't know if they are still around... that was 40 years ago! They put on a pretty good show. Maybe the tractor guys are relatives! Actually, driving on 2 wheels is an old Hollywood stunt... but you need to have a locking differential (Positraction) to keep moving!

Speaking only for myself, it would probably be at about 8 beers when it begins to sound like a good idea! Urp...

That's only a guess... my limit is 2.

When I was a kid Joy Chitwood performed these in cars at fairs. There is a You Tube video of someone doing this on a Rhino, I am sure there are more.

Growing up we often didn't have a car, so we used our tractor for work and transportation, surprising what kids can think of to do on a tractor.
