I doubt that the driver owned the tractor, personally. He finally got underway, but in listening to the sounds emitting from the tractor, it sounded to me that the tranny suffered from that abuse. Not including the possible harm to the frame and 3-pt. :confused2:

Apparently his Mommy never taught him to make two trips. He was lucky he didn't remove himself from the gene pool.

That is funny. Once it gets going, he has it. I bet he has put a lot of time on a tractor!

I don't know who I'd rather own the life insurance policy on - him or the cameraman. They're both good investments.

I've had tractors up in the air like that back in the day. Made my wife sick to her stomach, she had to walk away. Never hurt anything including myself, now I'm much wiser, but I have to say "I have that learning curve:laughing:"

They should have done some maintenance while it was up in the air :laughing:

It seems to be a pretty common theme in eastern and central europe. At one time I was set on getting a Zetor based on the price and all the abuse they seemed to take in these youtube clips. It seems no one over here beats on farm tractors that hard, or atleast has some one filming it:laughing:

Growing up on a farm 50+ years ago, with no big tractors available or affordable and no MFWD, pulling with the front wheels in the air was not unusual. You used what you had to do what needed to be done to feed your family. I am not advocating it, that's just the way it was and no one I knew was ever injured doing so.

I can't ride a unicycle, but that doesn't mean someone else can't.

Growing up on the farm I remember my father using the biggest tractor we had to pull logs out of the woods in the winter. It was a small massey ferguson gas with half tracks. He would steer using the left and right brake because the front wheels never touched the ground and wouldn't get traction in the snow anyway. We still have the half tracks sitting in the barn. They look like something that came from a tank.

cowboy........... there is the kind of stupid going on there that WILL eventually be painful.

He's just popping a wheely. We did it with bicycles, applaud those that do it motorcycles and occasionally get a scare when we are on our tractors. He obviously knows his tractor and is pushing it to the limits, good for him! If it broke I am sure he would fix it and not blame the manufacturer. He had a lot of friction to overcome before he could finally gitter moving. Not for the faint of mind for sure. I have pulled logs and had the front end come off the ground when going up a hill, ended up winching the logs to the top and then pulling them. Give the guy some credit for what all of us wish we could do!

The choice... either spend time making extra trips or repairing the tractor... Not condemning just saying.

I can increase or decrease the wheelie instantly on my two wheeled vehicles by moving my body weight (200+ lbs). It's not the same on a tractor. Yes, I've wheelied 100's of times on a Honda 650 (~350lbs) and can still ride a wheelie at least 25 ft on my mtn bike (~35lbs). Popping it too far means some scraped elbows and scratched plastic at worse.

No, I don't wish I could do that on my tractor. I like my ribs right where they are. No sense rearranging them just to show I can wheelie a tractor.

 

[randy41]

quite a bit of wood there. you have to admire his persistence.

 

[Baby Grand]

I'll have what he's drinking ...

 

[Renze]

We once did that with 3 people sitting on the front end for ballast...

I guess we do what we have to do to get the job done... Folks in other parts of the world may not have a bigger, fancier tractor parked out back.

It's easy for us to judge others from our comfortable positions..

He could pull fewer logs and/or chain them below the axle. Nobody's said anything about the tractor being too small.
