World Land Speed Record Holding Tractors - Something Fucking Else : )

AND I had to skim through it - busy and a big day and I was quite tired.... but from what I gathered, that the OLD tractors had steel wheels, and thanks to this guy / and the factory / team, they got GOOD inflatable rubber tyres on all the tractors instead. The transition point in history....

AND the fun / worrying aspect - that the guy in the starter picture, that actually looks like a brilliantly fun thing to drive and it just looks cool - but unless the road is extremely flat - NO suspension = that could get really bad in an instant...... Maybe that is why basic vehicles like tractors, only have very low real world speeds.....

Unless it was glassy smooth and dead flat..... This really frightens me, even thinking about going anything much above jogging speed... Big Bouncy Tyres and NO suspension.... https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2ZbkOSH....4x6E/maxresdefault.j

The guy who drove hiw 100 MPH + tractor, said, "It was like riding a frightened buffalo". To me it's like a 2 ton basket ball..... The idea of bouncing and going off line and pitching and twisting and rolling etc... Fuck it's a great looking tractor.... But I am terrified to think about it...... AND there are a lot of people who also drive tractors, have talked about going 15 miles an hour +, across a ploughed field or rough road and becomming quite frightened... "Ohhh I got it up into 4th gear and Whooooooooooooo"..... But fuck it's a good looking tractor.. .

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: It's an Allis Charmers (AC) that thinks it's an (AC) Cobra! lol!

@mrghoster: I'd be prepared to give it 30 or 40 mph on the salt flats, by Australian roads in many areas, are SO rough..... This is a bit of road that was so rough I almost broken my neck when my head hit the car roof..... https://maps.app.goo.gl/NxBnNKhjc65zdhin8 ------ The image is piss poor - but I only ever took that road once and then found all the bypass roads to the south....
