Tractor racing?

[LS Tractor Owner]

Found this when I was bored:

V8 Muscle Australia - Tractor Racing ?!? | Facebook

I wonder if it will catch on?

Seen videos where they chain to each other and have pull off. :confused2:

There use to be "tractor pulls". But I haven't seen this in over a year.

Sounds more like Russian from the voice on the vids.

Every summer and fall out here at most every fair and then some just pulls and then always some benifit pulls for different causes.

If it does I have no doubt JCB could start selling these as "stock tractors" : https://www.guinnessworldrecords.co...ate-the-worlds-fastest-tractor-record-598759/

they must have spring suspensions, I couldn't imagine going that fast over bumps without dying!!..

Until they take it directly from the track to a field and pull a plow with no other modifications, it’s not a tractor.
When Top Gear did it originally and set the speed record of like 55 MPH, they actually plowed (disc’d) an entire field with the same machine.

In the US, we have swamp buggy racing. Basically purpose built machines running tall thin tractor tires.
