Absolute idiot. If he doesn't kill himself first, the front of the engine will be starved of oil.

Worthy of a Darwin Award! :eyes: Best to advise the driver to read his tractor handbook.....Section A, page 2,...."NEVER....pull from the top link or the rear axle...fail to check that weight is properly distributed on the tractor...." :roll:

this guy has Kids oh is the world ever in trouble now :eyes: . after watching this i think there are some people that should have the snip as a compulsory measure and this guy should be on the test program :lol: .

I guess technically hes not pulling from the top link ,this is a euro hitch for a 4 wheel drag trailer that is popular in europe. He would of been slightly better off with the trailers the other way round, But then would have issues with a lack of weight transfer on the tractor.
A 4 wheel drag has no weight transfer to the tractor what ever you do with the stupid thing. He would of stopped the wheelie but piled up trying to stop or turn when the trailer pushed the tractor. Or as we say in Canada the tail was wagging the dog :lol: .

I think we all agree he's an idiot.
The trouble with commenting on videos like this is that it just directs more hits to the video. They then think that the more people that watch it makes them more famous, so do more videos.

I have a saying that goes "people like that make people like us look good"
