Land Rover Series 2a vs Kubota compact tractor tug of war

playing around with my 1969 S2a land rover, a 2 tonne strop and kubota tractor. Who won?

Both sides claim victory, so looks as if there will be a re-match, this time I will put some weight in the back of the landy to get some grip!

Credits:

The Land rover ---- 2.25 petrol, 88inch, in low shift, 205 tyres (semperit with loads of tread on them) otherwise, pretty much as per stock. low shift, first gear

Tractor Kubota B8200, about 20hp, in 4WD, 1st gear, low shift, hardly any tyre tread left!

Contestants: Chris and Kevin

Lovely Series 2a m8, My Brothers got a series 3 short wheel base and a series 2a aswell, i dont blame the series from being pulled it has agricultural tyres, My brothers series 3 has X-70's military tyres, they are great off road, and grip very well on very wet road and snow.

Great old British Technology.

@theconemen Tyres are always a compromise. The vehicle came with these Semperits, which last pretty well and are good on the road. At the end of the day, the S2a is cheap vehicle for towing.

Next video will be playing with the Fairey capstan winch - another useful bit of kit for launching and recovering boats.

with those tyres not surprising the tractor had an advantage, however as usual the land rover was great
