There have been a couple awesome “high performance” tractor videos that have emerged over the last few weeks. We’re going to show you this one today and drop the other one on your face a little later this week. Anyway what we have here is modified 1950s farm tractor over in Europe that has been turbocharged and packed with more power than it should have, ever. We sound like wusses for saying that but the reality is that this thing is stupid fast for a machine with no suspension and a center of gravity about the same as a horse on stilts. Stability isn’t really your pal here as these dudes figured out while ripping some donuts inside a barn.
The one hair raising moment in the whole thing is when the tractor flops onto its side and the guy driving it puts his arm out as if he is going to catch himself. We’re sure it is some sort of basic human reaction to do that but we were certain the guy’s hand was about be become hamburger helper and if any part of the roll over structure had been on top of said hand, it would have looked like something out of a horror movie. That was a close call.
After the tipping incident, things do go according to plan and the rear tires are essentially burned off the sucker. Tractors with independent rear brakes like this one can do some really fun stuff with regard to burnouts and donuts (assuming you don’t kill yourself in the process).
If this video confirms one unassailable point it is that turbochargers make everything, and we mean EVERYTHING better. Right?
