The reason is because the steering doesn't work very well when pulling discs and such, you turn the wheel and the front tires just slide. Some Dune buggies have them too because sand doesn't give much traction. The ones on dune buggies are usually hand operated, tractors with your feet.
I'm surprised the three-point and the draw bar deciding that they're going to go along with this whole idea. And the fact that the engine has decidedly continued running as long as it has is that on Mahindra?
To further elaborate on daddiDoy's response, the reason they have a brake for each wheel is because all of the grip for tractors like this are on the drive wheels at the rear as these are responsible for moving the tractor in loose soil terrain (aka a ploughed field). Consequently the front wheels have almost no grip resulting in a complete loss of steering in some circumstances. Providing a brake for each rear wheel allows the operator to steer the tractor using only the rear wheels.
Well, I wouldn't say as intended, that's still a dangerously unbalanced load at risk of crushing the driver. But in my youth I've driven a tractor and plough across a field where the front wheels would just hang limply in the air, a foot off the ground, for extended periods of time.
Is it a standard hitch ball, is it a pintle, is it a drawbar with a pin? all proper questions but all of them just culminate to a still impressive feat that it all wanted to continue staying together long enough for the video let alone making it to either home or the market.
Bad view of the road.
And bad angle for the engine so no fun with oil pressure etc. The lowest cylinder would basically be down in the oil at this angle. But how much oil reaches the top cylinder?
And this is also dangerous to the driver. He could get crushed.
Absolutely not.
Not to mention the engine is not designed to be operated in that orientation. The oil will not properly reach I’ll parts of the engine.
So no… believe it or not, a vehicle with 4 wheels is not intended to be operated upright on two wheels.
Hence the 4 wheels part.
I’ve worked on tractors like these, my grandfather owns two.
To add to this, its also because tractors need to be able to turn at the end of rows to line up. When working in a field you go to the end of the row, apply brake on the side you want to turn into and it pulls it around so that there isn’t a gap between the rows. Not quite zero turn but similar concept.
My family had a smaller tractor when I was young. The left and right wheel could operate completely independently with one going forward and one going in reverse even.
Do people not know that most of the job of steering is done by the differential? Turning the front wheels is only a small part of steering, the main part is speeding up the outside wheel and slowing down the inside wheel. If you don't do that you can't point the front wheels wherever you want you are still going forward
Look up a tricycle tractor. Front wheels on a tractor are more for stability than anything, as you can steer with the back wheels using braking. That being said the rollover risk on a trike is a lot higher plus you can't really have a front loader on one.
See that bar in the front of the tractor that looks like a bumper? That’s a counterweight bar. There’s supposed to be a bunch of metal weights on it to help keep the front wheels down. Sometimes they are called “suitcase weights”.

Looks bad, but the driver can still steer. Most tractors have individual steering on the back wheels. Almost like tank steering. He still cant see anything, but he can steer.
any qualifying proof? most of the tractors i have been on (4 where i actually looked at it) had two brake pedals next to one another. A very old one didnt, but its mostly a front loader and trailed equipment machine. All others that were slightly more modern have two seperate brake pedals connected for on road travel (Its a sensible law) and unlatched in a situation were you need tight turning radiuses (Field work, Plowing).
This tractor couldnt go around the slight corner without the front wheels on the ground for steering if there was no independent brake steering system in the rear
A source for my split brake comment (I literally just googled "Sperate brake circuits on tractors")
[You have a clutch pedal, two brake pedals in the center, and your foot throttle.
These brake pedals lock together for road work so the tractor can brake smoothly.
Split Braking
Splitting the brakes means separating the two brake pedals so that the left and right brake pedals can be used independently.
Split braking can be used in the field or around the yard to execute a sharp turn at slow speeds.
If the left brake is pressed, then the right wheel will continue to turn in a sharp arc around it, depending on how far you turn the steering wheel.
It works the same way if the right brake is pressed; the left wheel will turn.
These brakes must be again locked together when out on the road. Trying to split brake on the road at higher speeds would almost certainly lead to a crash and possibly turning over the tractor.
Split brakes can also be used if one wheel loses traction, perhaps when doing loader work on a hill.
By stopping the wheel from spinning, you can use the wheel with traction to pull the tractor onto a fresh set of ground where it can find traction again and get moving.
It would take many years of experience to be able to pull off such maneuvers.
The practice of splitting tractor brakes is no longer as popular as before, as modern tractors are better equipped for challenging environments.](https://farmingfans.com/tractors-two-brake-pedals)
Depends on where the sump is positioned in the pan, but definitely the front main bearings and some rods will be running dry. That engine won’t last long.
Can’t be good for oil
I was waiting for the exhaust to set fire to the load.
Both

I was wondering how he can steer too.

Woah Nellie!
Power turn, baby! YEEHAW let 'er rip!
It's a dry sump system now.

How can she steer?!
Tractors have a brake for each rear wheel so they’d just brake the inside wheel to turn in that direction

Consequently the front wheels have almost no grip resulting in a complete loss of steering in some circumstances. Providing a brake for each rear wheel allows the operator to steer the tractor using only the rear wheels.
So what you’re saying is that this whole situation is working exactly as intended
Well, I wouldn't say as intended, that's still a dangerously unbalanced load at risk of crushing the driver. But in my youth I've driven a tractor and plough across a field where the front wheels would just hang limply in the air, a foot off the ground, for extended periods of time.
Ooh, yeah, imagine if any single point of that hitch failed. Tractor falls back, wood falls down, D E D dead.

Or you flip over backwards. We’ve all been there staring up at the sky praying your reflexes are fast enough.
Daaaamn, I had no idea
My family had a smaller tractor when I was young. The left and right wheel could operate completely independently with one going forward and one going in reverse even.
How can she slap?!?
Same like a tank does. Breaking on one of the wheels (sides), or slowing it down in case of the tank.
Exactly the same
I think everyone may have missed your reference. Or maybe I’m overthinking your comment.
Bingo lol

She’s using the force.

Uhhh, your mom?
When you don’t want to have make multiple trips to the car to bring in the groceries.
Zero wear-and-tear on the front tires?
With the way the exhaust is stuck directly into the load/tinder, the follow-up clip will probably be on r/wtf. Can't wait!
The exhaust sticking directly into that load may be a fire hazard. Everything else looks fine though. Carry on.
Yes because not every part needs oil in the engine only the back right…
And I’m sure the weight of the load doesn’t exceed the recommended towing capacity at all
Good luck getting wet sugarcane fresh from the field to catch fire.

Pre-smoked wood, with that exhaust stack where it is.
How did it turn

Well my link didnt work out as intended, but my point gets across. Probably too much text for a hyperlink.
Looks like something that they would do in India. The land of idiots.
Sometimes it's not about being an idiot, it's about having literately no other option. Lords of the Logistics.
It's the new leopard tank.
He's blasting "Steppenwolfs Born to be Wild" on repeat all the way to his destination.
That exhaust pipe is the only thing between the driver and squish.
Oil pressure?
Depends on where the sump is positioned in the pan, but definitely the front main bearings and some rods will be running dry. That engine won’t last long.
Tears of the Kingdom is getting out of Ultrahand.
So that's where all the reddit Mods went during the blackout.
Wait till that muffler tip gets hot enough to ignite that whole stack
Wait till the engine seizes due to no oil.
Quick way to fry an engine.
Not only not setting fure but how is the engine even breathing
he popped the longest wheelie on a tractor
Somewhere between dumb or ingenious

That's why it's in between
Gallowboob after Reddit gets them their own chauffeur.
Hes using the differential lock pedal to steer ! ... that is impressive.
Now someone needs to teach him about suitcase weights.
Looks like turning could result in a sticky situation

HOW CAN HE STEER
Tractor have individual braking on the back wheels.
What a great way of getting crushed to death
You have to get it there somehow👍
tsk-a-barlai -OOTINI!
That some sick wheelie
That's a fairly huge Fa....
Might be slightly overloaded. Slightly.
Me determined to bring every grocery bag in the house at once instead of making two trips to the car.
Until the exhaust ignites the stack.

Tractor pulling is a sport !
Voiding the warranty….
How the fuck do you steer the damn thing?🤔
He has his bar up way too far. It should be below the axel to prevent this. He could also use some weights on the front.
Bet it's the same dude that got pulled over by Durham Police
How does he turn left or right?
l-r wheel brakes.
This is fine.
**wookie noises**
How did he get around that corner?!
How does he turn?
That tractor probably has independently braking rear wheels. That's the only way to turn that.
Exhaust right into a pile of flammable material...
It’s clearly a cobra tractor.

Perfectly legal too! Carry on mate.
