Well, you just ain't gonna believe this... Some people have too much free time on their hands!

Yep, that one's been around for quite a while.

Can't help but wonder how long it will be before he "trips" it while doing one of those high-speed doughnuts and flips it over on himself . . . if it hasn't already happened.

It does look like fun, in a redneck-sorta way, though, doesn't it?! Would have to be a great conversation piece down at the grain elevator on Saturday morning.

Put a sled behind that puppy!!!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

A lot of money and time wasted to build something that's useless and something that he'll probably kill himself on.

I wonder how long the transmission and rear end are going to last in that thing?

He better be careful. That one has a high center of gravity with her on it!

 

[Ale-8(1)]

Yeah . . . but what a headrest!

On that JD pic...looks like it would be pretty easy to stand that thing up and flip it.

If farmer boys want to get crazy why can't they at least use an appropriate vehicle?

Tractors have ZIP for suspensions. You can roll over a nickel and tell whether it is heads or tails. I've know one guy who was killed on a tractor and another knackered very bad after the tractor rolled over on him. That first guy is just a matter of time..... the old guy with the flathead,... at least he was going straight down the road.

Cary, with those two passengers aboard, I don't think there's much chance of a wheelie, let alone a back-flip.

Besides, if it were "appropriate" there'd be no challenge.

+1! Redneck and appropriate just do not go together.

Very true. There are a lot of dead people that just didn't realize how easy it was to flip a tractor. Tractors are dangerous things just as they are out of the factory. You have to be aware of your own safety at all times.

When you start doing stupid crap like that with them, you're just asking for trouble.

True...but unfortunately sometimes a foolish redneck and death do go together.
