Hi, my name is Josh.....

[The Excession]

I'm only 3 & 1/2 and my friend Buzz (who loves tractors and can fix them better than daddy can) told me to watch this video.

It's the 'fastest vintage tractor' EVER!

I hope you like this video.

clicky here


(daddy is typing - of course, his words not mine, if any of you could take a moment to reply then I'll make sure he gets to read the responses and follow up. Buzz might be able to fix tractors but I'm the only one that can embed a link on PH.... thanks Ex.)

Utterly insane, no lift on that final corner... I've driven plenty of new(ish) tractors and would crap myself at that speed what with the worn steering geometry and st tyres....

Josh,

That's the fastest tractor I've ever seen! My son Owen loves tractors too.

Allegedly it's a granada engine... as you say utterly insane.... no way would I want to do that speed on those tyres and steering geometry.

Wonder if he wore a seat belt???

I saw the little red Fergie at the start of the vid and wondered what the fuss was about, then saw the loony. As much as I'm impressed with how quick it is and how great it sounds, that was an incredibly dangerous and stupid thing to do on a public road. I could see the old bill making some enquiries if they saw this.

Are you talking about the driver or the camera man? I think both fall into that category.

I believe farm machinery has its own MoT / vehicle regs which means they can do pretty much what they want, and claim it is for use on the farm and it is necessary to travel on the public road between fields etc. Of course that doesn't mean it is safe or sensible, but this is PH...

An agricultural vehicle of that age will be limited to 20mph by law (no suspension, no independent secondary brakes etc.)
