The cutting edge in Swedish technology.

^is this Swedish? I was just about to say we need a *Soviet channel.

*wheels *engineering

That's great!

Why dangerous?

Why dangerous?


It could easily flip backward depending on how stuck the rear wheels are, though in this case it looks like they attached a cable to the front to prevent that.

Even if it didn't flip backward, if it lifted the front (putting all the weight on the rear tires) then one wheel could suddenly sink further causing the tractor to fall on its side (and possibly onto the operator if he falls out in the process).

oh, i see, so rather than the wheels turning, the tractor would turn backwards around the wheel.. now THAT would have been neat

aye very dangerous, a strontium bossforicator would have come in handy.

Not to mention the chains can break and the guy is sitting in an unprotected cab, or something on the wheel itself could snap.

Or the damage it could do the machine if it didn't come free at some point...something has to give somewhere.

Either that ground was sloppy muddy when they drove into it, or they spun their wheels until they got stuck so bad they had to do this. Better off to stop and get some other kind of machine/truck or winch system to pull you.

This is one of those things you learn when you work in dirt......if the ground is suspect, walk it before you drive through it. If it won't hold you, it's not going to hold the machine. And don't park machines where you can't get to them with other machinery to pull them free if the ground turns to mush under them during the night or after a storm...if there's no stable looking parking options.

Ain't physics neat?

oh,

Or a meteor could fall on it.

Yes, it is indeed Swedish, for whoever is interested I did a quick translation of what I could make out of what was said.

00:08 Cameraman: Well, lets get to it.
00:22 Anders: No!
1:38 Cameraman: This went superb Anders!
1:42 Cameraman: It was a little jump straight out of the hole.
1:45 Anders: Yes, well it's a strong machine too.
1:49 Cameraman: Yes, good method this.
1:50 Anders: If it hadn't been a Ferguson the transmission would have broken instantly.
1:52 [Unintelligible.]
2:33 Anders: Well that's finally done!
2:37 Cameraman: Have you ever run down like that before Anders?
2:38 Anders: No, never.
2:41 Anders: So now it's midday Sunday, and we are back to where we started yesterday, early Saturday morning. So much for that firewood.

seems to me that tractor tires were actually designed to do this kind of thing
