wouldn't you like to buy brand new tractors nowadays and have people like that run them for you? I think I've seen tractors they have run at auctions!

Their tractors come standard with helium in the front tires? well the good news is America is taking in more and more well.............that's for the political forum.

Guess we can call them for IT support, but not tractor tech support.

I can thank the strain across my low back to an Indian. Was moving a really heavy skid mounted pump, big one, in tight quarters. Was rolling it on pipe and moving with pry bars. I had a hefty but manageable bite on the pry bar and an Indian graduate student (engineering!) was moving the rollers. The pump rolled forward some and my load got really heavy and he was still farting around with the roller. I yelled "I've got to put it down!" OK, he says...and just as I begin to let go, "Just a second", and reaches his hand in directly under the dang thing! I recovered all that load again to save his freakin' hand, as the pain shot all through my back! I can see by this video, he comes by his mechanical and safety sense honestly! hahaha

Is the term "city slickers" still around or is that PCed out?

Probably not PC, but we call them "citiots" now. Not sure if I spelled that correctly.

Yikes! Guys dancing around the front of the tractors during the pull is awesome!
Ever think they might consider a wagon with four wheels? WOW!

apparently the "wave" to stop....means nothing!

I have been to 3 barn raisings,4 rat killings and 5 goat ropings and I have never seen total abuse and misuse as this.TOTAL ABUSE OF EQUIPMENT AND NOT TO MENTION THE LACK OF SAFETY.osha would have loved it.....

India has a phenominal amount of agricultural fatalities. Couple intense stupidity with a weak machine, and bad things happen... it's like having a dull pocket knife. These characters seem to exemplary at exhibiting both... but keep in mind, they have an extremely high population density... you're seeing video clips that highlight the 'exception' rather than the 'norm'.

That being said, in many places on that side of the earth, this is unnervingly 'normal':

After having worked in passenger rail, and found body parts tangled up in the boxes underneath, I find the unconcious habits to be ghastly ignorant, but they do it because if they didn't they'd never get anywhere.

Obviously hitching the tractors up too high, and overloading the toungue is incredibly dangers, but the part I found most upsetting, is that when they're doing these things, people aren't smart enough to stand the hell back... and even worse, idiots that walk right in front of a nose-up machine.

Darwinian population control...

Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.

That country has nukes right?
