Nothing handles like a John Deere!

Great traction, it looks like he steered his tires right out from under his center of gravity.

Oops.

He steered his rear tires against the cop car, climbing atop and throwing him over.

That cop hit him on purpose? Seems like that could have ended quite differently.

Hope he has insurance for this…

He steered his rear tires against the cop car, climbing atop and throwing him over.

I'm not convinced. Looks to me that he started tipping when he made his sharp turn toward the exit.

Then, that put him sideways in front of the cop car. Where his front tire rolled over it, and upset him.

I think due to the difference in weight (5:1?), a PIT maneuver - pushing sideways against his rear tire - wouldn't push him sideways.

It looks to me like the cop knew what he was doing and did a pit maneuver by pushing his front bumper in front of the tractors rear tire.

So many things could’ve gone terribly wrong with that scenario

Why not just follow the tractor? It won't outrun them. And it will stop somewhere. Why MUST it be stopped RIGHT NOW?
