Ok, I finally watched the video. First of all, I wish my antique IH 350 Utility had that kind of pep. Second, how in heavens name has he not rolled that thing. Third, that thing needs a FEL for even more cool tricks. Finally, I wish my truck had independent brakes like my tractor. Although, the 4 brake pedals in the truck might get crowd / confusing....

That was what amazed me the most. If I had done 1/3rd the stupid pet tricks that guy did I would have done been rolled over, trapped under the tractor......

Yes, on each of the rear wheels. Not going to help with the power braking.

rewach the video. You will see that the tire oposite the camera is not turning. The front tires are aimed straight ahead and he is on pavment so the tire that is spinning is incapable of sliding the front end over sideways hence forth it is just sitting spinning. He never showes both rear tires at once spinning. At the very begining of each burnout you can see the other side just sitting there.......understand??

Rewatched and saw what you were saying. Excellent operator to do that.
Actually the tractor was sideways and the wheels were cocked off to counter steer.

So I guess I was still correct, it only has rear brakes. All in humor sir.

Considering the Volvo motor probably turns 6000, and the stock motor it replaced might turn 2000-2500, yes, it will book right along.
