they should have a tug-o-war with the tractor and his mustache

[chssnare09]

thats a good way to make the clutch go out quicker and mess up the tranny and be really hard on the engine

and screw up the drivetrains

[jdpower66]

funny how the tractor that lost had bald tyres

[harvey124100]

THAT PROVES FUCK ALL

[joeymdorsey52185]

that guy won't be dancing when that chain pops and cuts him in half....

[bettafish110]

@chssnare09 soo true and the drive trains arent cheap either thats a nice way to fckin burn a hole in ur wallet but i would have to say john deere tractors can take alot of beating i dont think they would do much harm to the tranny with that much but if they repeat it another 10 times iam sure there gonna have serious damage to the tranny

[bettafish110]

@31shanks i would feel sad for the tractor those things have to weight a TON

lmao dick straw bridge is like the uk version of jamie hyneman ftw (Y) 

[bazilisginger]

ive met dick hes a good man, and his son, they some times poped into my local to sink a few wets, i lived in fowey him and his son are tywardreath boys personally, hus son james sometimes when hes drunk goes under the pseudonymof james rock and tries doing crappy tricks with coins :( but on the plus side, when he fails at them like he offten does, he buys you a pint and a shot just for taking part

[dirtshower250]

they are difffrent tractors and diffrent drivers u will never know with theses guys

[oisiaa]

I remember Dick from the first season of Junkyard Wars (Scrapheap Challenge). BTW, put those tractors in the dirt! You can break the transmission, differential, or axels on concrete like that.

Jeez, give these guys a break. They even said it's not a scientific way to prove it. It's for our own entertainment.
