| Re: Tractor GTI......? Thought it was a bit fake with the branches moving fast... then it went just as quick when a bloke was walking normally in shot.  Pretty darn fast, although that JCB all track thing only went round the TG track about 50 seconds slower than the reasonably priced car.

I think the tractor in the video may have been a Ferguson of about the same age. I wonder which components they modified (apart from the engine and gearbox, I guess). Things like the axle and clutch in a tractor can cope with a fair amount of torque, but the brakes and steering would need serious attention to go at that speed. As for suspension... do tractors of that sort of age even have any? | ||

But you take a fairly simple tractor test. Well, at least a mate of mine did. Then he passed his driving test aged 17 and about 3 days.

Edit: Just seen Devonutopia's post - I did a tractor test at 16 too - and yes it was a fairly simple test. Few years ago now though.. Last edited by DavidY; 10-03-2007 at 18:21. | |
