Please tell me some of these staged? It can't be that bad...

I don't get why so many rear wheels are breaking at the axles?

Completely understandable; these are the same geniuses thought Communism was such a great idea ...

Those fooling around on ice were obviously drivers playing. As far as axles, they have crap steel there. In the summer of 1972 I had a summer job picking up tractors with broken axles in fields and in three months I picked up no less than 6 of them that had snapped rear axles, but those were because farmers were bolting duals onto tractors made for single axles. Duals eventually required manufacturers to beef up axles a lot.

Yeah, and if that was a video of American farmers doing the same thing, you'd all be cheering them on, "GIT-R-DONE!" and if it was you being videoed, you would take severe personal offense if anyone were to criticize you for it.

I don't know much about Mahindra tractors but apparently they can take a lot of abuse as seen in this video. The drivers probably don't own them or have to do the repairs.
