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

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

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.

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.
