I know not so funny, but couldn't help but chuckle.

Guess now they'll try to ban all tractors that weigh over 10,000lbs

Ron in NS · Aug 3, 2012

Or all tractors with more than 4 wheels.....

Tractors don't kill cars, Farmers kill cars!

If the laws there are like Michigan's, he might have figured he had was going to lose it all anyway. That's pretty much what happens here.

This story is now on the internet news.

This guy just made his situation a whole lot worse. Hope he thinks it was worth it.

Also known as "assault tractors"

You know Case should buy this tractor and use it as
advertising. Think about wouldn't you want a tractor that can
set the local Cops back a few steps.

PS they threatened to arrest me because my miniature horse
got out. He's only 30 in. High what kind of damage could he
do.

Probably was on the way to California, & just wanted to say goodbye! Although even Los Angeles just shut down 900 medical marijuana clinics because they think there arent that many people who are really using it for medical purposes!

Just hope it was an older one with a manual transmission, with less than 7 gear ranges. You know how those folks hate the high capacity autos....

David G · Aug 3, 2012

What and idiot, he brought family farm equipment into
minor drug charge.

Hope he thinks it was worth it.

Where I live, the cops are told not to chase after ATVs or Motorcycles. Why use a tractor to get away when an ATV will work?

mkirsch · Aug 3, 2012

The way I read it he was ATTACKING, not trying to get away.

He felt that his arrest was unfair.

Red Mud · Aug 3, 2012

Reckon why the cops didn't shoot him?

Respect for the tractor

TomH in PA · Aug 3, 2012

The guy is an idiot. It was his parent's tractor, he's had problems with the police for years,

SDE · Aug 3, 2012

I don't think he is a real farmer. Farmers that smoke dope would not last very long.

Anonymous-0 · Aug 3, 2012

The report said he was angry because he felt he wasn't treated fair in the first arrest. Wonder if he feels any better about the second arrest ?

(quoted from post at 19:29:08 08/03/12) The report said he was angry because he felt he wasn't treated fair in the first arrest. Wonder if he feels any better about the second arrest ?

Good question Scott.......I figure he's going to spend some time in a rubber room. That darn sure isn't sane rational behavior.

The point is it's your responsibility not to let your horse run free. That's why you were advised you could be arrested. Arrests and law suits are about the only way left to get people to take responsibility for their actions anymore.

BTW- what damage could he do? I used to have a neighbor lady that couldn't keep her mini-stud in. That little so and so ran a fairly high dollar Arab mare through a fence and cost me a pretty penny. That's the type of damage he can do!

Bret4207 · Aug 4, 2012

He's not a farmer, he's a druggie using a tractor.

BDT in Minnesota · Aug 4, 2012

When his daddy looks at the tractor tires and scratches; I bet that druggie kid will get the spanking of his life..Heck, he may need Police Protection from daddy??
