Movies with tractor chases

Not sure where to post this....

Last night a friend of mine and I saw Headhunters, a norwegian movie ( very good is my review) that had a guy getting chased down a highway. He was driving a tractor with an impaled pit bull on the hay forks. Dark comedy, not for everyone but I liked it.

Anyway, it got us going on about scenes with tractor chases or tractors in use outside of the norm. "the straight story" a movie by David lynch about a man riding his lawn mower across the us was all I could come up with.

Ideas anyone?

"Straight Story" was terrific. You know the guy who starred in that had cancer while he did the movie and committed suicide not long after, so it was a double tear jerker.

I'm sure there must be some redneck, smoky and the bandit type films where someone puts two engines in a tractor and outruns the local dim witted police.

There is the "tractor duel" scene in the 1984 Footloose movie where Kevin Bacon and another guy drive tractors with loaders towards each other on a narrow road with ditches on both sides.....Kevin's shoe laces get caught in the brake pedals and he can't jump off and heads straight at the other guy....who does bail and his tractor does a nice roll into the ditch.....that's about the only other 'tractor scene' I remember from a movie......

There is an old movie called "Killdozer" about a Cat D9 that raises heck with a construction crew on an island.Can't say much without spoiling it. Stars Clint Walker from the tv series Cheyenne as the project supt.. and Donna Reed's tv husband as a powershovel operator...{.really showing my age here].
Killdozer was a fair flick , for us gear heads...
