"Stunt Farmer" Goes Up & Over 39-Ft. Arch AG WORLD 25-1-21 Daring Austrian farmer Rupert Ebner recently wowed a European TV audience with a dangerous stunt that appeared to defy gravity.
Ebner walked a tractor up and over a 39-ft. tall metal archway that went straight up on either side. When he got to the top, he turned the tractor around and drove down the other side.
While at the top of the arch, Ebner climbed out of the tractor and did a hand stand on the hood of the tractor.
The trick to Ebner's stunt was that his MF 4245 tractor had a metal plate on its 3-pt. hitch which ran on rollers underneath the track. With the weight of the tractor hanging on the plate, the wheels were forced against the track, giving them enough traction to climb.
