Wow. Gutsy. There will probably be a movie with a drifting tractor soon. Chuckle.

LOL that's awesome. I dunno if I would want to try it in something that seems that top-heavy though.

That's part of why I said gutsy! When I thought about it, though, I don't think it IS that top-heavy. Just would seem like it from the cab. Wonder if they drugged the driver with a sedative. LOL. I got nervous just seeing the other rides within it's possible wipe-out path! Or umm, roll-over. Hehe.

You know, if you think about it, the center of gravity on that truck probably isn't all that high. It is tall and heavy, but where is the weight at in that thing? I know those axles are HEAVY, and you can see the engine is under the cab. Most of that cab is fiberglass too. What I think is amazing is how well he keeps it spinning the tires with probably only being able to rev to ~2800 rpm.
