Zoom a zoom. Looks like he did a little burn out there. Wonder how long it would take him to plow the back 40.

Holy cow!
I drove my Massey Ferguson TO35 to a tractor show yesterday. About 5 miles each way. Top speed in high gear might have been pushing 20MPH. Believe me, that was plenty fast enough

I'm going to go way out on a limb on this one and assume he did a lot of work on the steering and lack of suspension. My 8N feels pretty safe at about 15 mph
