That poor tractor...

I've said it for years - it seems that the people with the least amount of money are the ones who beat on their stuff the most. Around here it's the scummy crowd, driving the biggest pieces of crap ever. Beating the heck out of them. It's no wonder they never have anything nice - they're always having to buy other vehicles. I see lots of videos from across the pond of folks beating on their stuff exactly the same.

I was very poor in my past life. Now I'm just slightly poor. I never beat the crap out of my stuff. I run it how it's meant to be run, but never beat on it because it took me so long to get what I've got. If I can do it, so can anyone!

Does anyone have an explanation as to why these types of folks do this to themselves?

Well woodcutters here are traditionally the toughest meanest badest people around and they have to keep the reputation at any cost. Combine that with a strong dose of alcohol and you have the video as a result

Tho I also know people that would hire a chainsaw operator and make them clear the brush around the road all day rather than have scratches on their skidder

Thanks for the explanation, Fokke. I understand quite well.
