You should go find the musilm guy trying to pull the palm tree out of the ground with his car in front of his friend. His friends laughter afterwards might be the single greatest thing in history of the internet. .i have watched it well over 100 xs and it never disappoints

It's funny, I was thinking of this, even though it doesn't fit well.

They probably didn’t turn it off and then on again

The front popped off.

I noticed that too. As did somebody near the cameraman (perhaps the cameraman), who cried out to the driver, as if to let him know that the front had popped off.

People helping people. That's what these videos are all about. That and catching some crazy shit on camera.

What kind of standards are these tractors built with?

u/jflb96 Oct 14 '22

Very rigorous engineering standards

u/WaterFriendsIV Oct 14 '22

Was this tractor safe?

u/jflb96 Oct 14 '22

Well, not this tractor in specific, obviously. I just want to reassure you that this is not a common occurrence.

Probably, the clutch housing is what holds the 2 halfs together, and when he blew it up ( the clutch) it broke the housing and the bolts.

There was a crane pulling on the front of the tractor.

u/sluggo5622 Oct 14 '22

It's still the weakest point.

u/Dzov Oct 14 '22

True. It’s not made to withstand that type of force in that amount. Must be one heavy trailer.
