Turbo-charged ‘terror tractor’ becomes internet smash

The 'terror tractor' destroying a field

by Ben Wilby

Getting your tourer stuck in the mud is a familiar story for many caravanners and an unlucky few may even need to be rescued by a tractor.

But imagine how would you feel if the vehicle that turned up to save your prized caravan was a super powered tractor named Terror?

A YouTube video showing this impressive machine has gone viral with nearly eight million people logging on to check out this turbo charged tractor, which was customised by a team from Sweden.

The video, which was uploaded less that two weeks ago, (21 November) is proving hugely popular with people all across the world.

One user, Gestes 23 even went as far as describing it as “the best thing I’ve ever seen.”

The machine is powered by a Volvo 240 turbo engine, which is more than powerful enough to turn this humble farming tool into a full-on speed machine.

The enterprising team behind the customised tractor drive it along roads, do tricks and take it onto a field – which it promptly ruins.

Its huge wheels tear up the dirt, making a complete mess of the land – not exactly what you want from a farming machine.
