Lots of people dream of leaving the surly bonds of Earth behind and soaring through the air like a bird. People, animals, heck, even some bird species dream of it. But what about tractors? We think we know. This cute little guy has achieved liftoff – all four wheels in the air.
Yes, even if only for a brief moment, this tractor got to live the dream. No doubt, the driver hits the bump with as much speed as possible every day. Somebody call Vin Diesel; this little blue guy is definitely gold material for the next “Fast & Furious” movie!
Tractor-Skating
Going skating is usually something fun, even if you aren't a pro at it. We feel bad for tractors, then, since they're far too heavy to ever go out safely on anything other than the thickest ice. They can only stare enviously at their Zamboni relatives.
This tractor must not have gotten the memo. The ice looks far too thin to support such an immense amount of weight. What was it even doing out there, anyway? There isn't even any snow to clear off the ice so that humans can enjoy their winter sports. Slipping is never fun, especially if you're doing it on a tractor.
They'll Never Know
We had to check Google quickly, but no. BMW has never made a tractor, and there is really no reason for them to start now. The owner of this tractor, however, wanted to let people know that he had no need for a high-class automobile to get his important work done.
His tractor is just as good as a real 740i, which is a full-size luxury sedan from the BMW line. While making your vehicle look like a different kind of car is gauche, we don't think anybody will raise a stink here. In fact, they're more likely to laugh.
Failed Construction
A lot of tractors, especially those that work in construction, have a single job: make a hole. Somehow, the tractor that is in the foreground of this picture got its marching orders all mixed around and has instead placed itself in a hole. Everyone is confused.
We are confused, the controller of the tractor is confused, as are all the people who watched the tractor accomplish this spectacular feat. Feel free to chime in if this is also a confusing picture for you. It's a good thing there's another machine right there to help dig it out. Under construction? More like under destruction!
A Strange Buried Treasure
There are lots of secrets hidden under the ocean waves. Apparently, one of those secrets is an entire backhoe or at least part of it. This beach is too cool for seashells; it has the scoop of a backhoe sticking out of the edge of the surf into the sand.
The interesting detail is that the lower half of the arm is all rusted over, but the back half looks fine. We know that salty sea air keeps metal looking better for longer – that's why you'll see so many classic cars in Cali – but this is just strange.
