To settle a debate umongst some friends i need to calculate how fast a vehicle can take the "carousel" corner on the nordschleife - the trouble is the vehicle in question is a tractor (a Case Puma 160 to be exact). I can get the weight and dimensions if that helps.

Basically one friend says it'll roll and me and the other friend disagre having both driven tractors for a number of years.

Nah shes got the 50k gearbox - 32 mph
This one is a CVT although the Full power shift would be the same speed

Thanks for your response
Yeah i agree they are more stable than they look as for the speed
i know people who've not driven tractors tend to see them as a "nusiance" and "clogging up the road" but they are getting faster; them 8000 jcb fastracs can be specced for 80k!
