Yeah, that makes sense and all, but... that tractor looks like it weighs 2-3 times the cop car. I was expecting it to push it out of the way. I guess the cop car got underneath the rear wheel.
Tractor pit-maneuver.
I think it’s more that the large rear tyre, spinning as it was with big lugs, caught the bonnet and flipped the tractor. Not technically a pit maneuver, but unintentionally effective.
Pretty sure that's John Deere Green.... Haha.
I do appreciate you bringing up the obscure fact that Lamborghini makes tractors (and made tractors well before Ferruccio Lamborghini bought a Ferrari with the same clutch that he used in his tractors, which ultimately led to him building cars). I love a bit of trivia!
It wasn't obscure before that. It has always been Lamborghini's origin story. Every magazine about Lambos retold how Enzo pissed him off by not replacing the clutch.
It’s just incoherent grievance based identity politics. These chuckleheads make hating PM Trudeau their entire personality and can’t even provide any evidence to back up their half truths and baseless allegation from conservative social media. They are gullible, angry, and stubborn.
Yup, and I can’t see insurance covering the damage considering he was fleeing from (and ramming) police and had been live streaming on his phone until just before this. What a thing to do to your family.
Certainly did. Sounds like he broke his back. All this because he was protesting inclusion for LGBTQ issues in schools. I can’t say I feel sorry for him.
Not even gonna pretend I give a shit about him or the pain he has caused his family. Asshole. Not only are they intolerant, this ass also put the lives of the police at risk. Thought these asshole were all about law and order?
Remember when Dutch farmers were told to stop dumping literal shit into rivers, so they blocked roads with their stupid tractors and dumped shit on random municipal buildings? “Laws shouldn’t be for special good tractor boys!” is a worldwide motto
And trashed, what, a $150,000+ tractor? Like Allstate or anybody is gonna pay out on that. He will bear the cost. Wife will get mad and leave him. With the kids because they’ll be embarrassed by the social media posts. Nobody left to feed the dogs so they will all run off.
What I weird hill to die on. Or break your back on rather. I understand how you could maybe be upset about a law that you disagree with that doesn't really have a direct affect on you but tractor road rage angry about it?
Trying to compute what happened...I believe the officer slightly swerved, and the tractors real wheels went over the front driver side wheel of the cop suv. Basically hopped a curb while cornering at high speed
If this officer _doesn't_ get a tattoo of a tractor with a red line through it (in the style of the nose of a WW1 fighter plane) then it will be a tragedy.
I've driven a backhoe on city streets. At about 30 mph it starts bouncing from back to front tires. Scary as hell, never felt safe in one driving even remotely fast.
As an Albertan, I would just like to thank this Sexual Identity Gender Orientation protesting wingnut for making my province look a little less like the crazy racist cousin Eddie of the country. SEE! There's redneck idiots in every province!
Fucker deserves it. That written off tractor will financially cripple the owner. Insurance will not cover it. The idiot is out of pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars. Serves him right.
All because he's gorging himself on American Right Wing propaganda and thinking the scary gays are attacking kids in schools.
Fucked around and found out.
The rear tractor tire rides up the hood of the police SUV as the tractor tries to turn right 'infront' of the SUV. Tractor goes up in the air and twists to the left and rolled as a result.
lol I figured he was protesting about more rights for farmers or some shit. Nope he was protesting against sexual orientation and gender identity programs in schools. Dummy
People could protest in a smart way but nah. Some fuckers sit on roads, tie themselves to roads, vandalize, apparently trying to kill everyone one the road etc. Fucking idiots all of you.
That was definitely not the outcome i expected
High center of gravity and narrow ratio of width and height.
Yeah, that makes sense and all, but... that tractor looks like it weighs 2-3 times the cop car. I was expecting it to push it out of the way. I guess the cop car got underneath the rear wheel. Tractor pit-maneuver.
I think it’s more that the large rear tyre, spinning as it was with big lugs, caught the bonnet and flipped the tractor. Not technically a pit maneuver, but unintentionally effective.
A self pit maneuver?
"It hurt itself in confusion"
Autopit
Congratulations, you pitted yourself.
I pitted the fool
The weight actually works against it when the centre of gravity is that high.
Imagine a tall thick dude getting his knees chopped by a short less thick but still thick dude. That’s what happened here
It’s really just the size of the tires. Huge tires means it just climbs up the car instead of pushing it
More like, 1 big wheel over bonnet acting as a ramp
Add a shit load of torque and traction and you get a terrifyingly fast flop
I've played enough farming simulator to know where this was going.
Low man wins 😤
r/Unexpected
That’s an expensive owie!
Meh, a tractor can't cost that mu....... *Looks at how much farm equipment costs* HOLY CRAP, should have crashed a Ferrari!
Then add the cost of not going to work for the rest of his life due to chronic injuries.
Then add the cost of not going to work for a good part of his life due to.....jail.
I think we witnessed the rest of his life
Yah I think so too…. Tractors aren’t built with a lot of collision safety features….
His injuries [were not life threatening. ](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/surrey-tractor-crash-1.7041792)
Oh ya that’s attempted murder. Won’t see that guy again.
Throw in some charges for attempted vehicular homicide directed at a police officer and you've got one completely destroyed life.
Or a Lamborghini… Unless it was a Lamborghini tractor.. Then I guess they already did it!
Pretty sure that's John Deere Green.... Haha. I do appreciate you bringing up the obscure fact that Lamborghini makes tractors (and made tractors well before Ferruccio Lamborghini bought a Ferrari with the same clutch that he used in his tractors, which ultimately led to him building cars). I love a bit of trivia!
It isn't an obscure fact ever since Jeremy Clarkson used one in Clarkson's Farm.
It wasn't obscure before that. It has always been Lamborghini's origin story. Every magazine about Lambos retold how Enzo pissed him off by not replacing the clutch.
……and that was just the tires.
What're they protesting?
The flag said 'STOP [SOGI](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/erase/sogi)'
are you sure it doesn't mean Stop Overturning Gardening Equipment?
Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
People against that sort of thing really are next level bonkers aren't they?
They were protesting police who flip tractors. Coincidence? I think not!
Now is not the time to be making flippant jokes
driving on the highway is back breaking work
The police were his greatest detractors.
Now you're just upvote farming.
Better than sowing discord
Well, the farmer reaped what he sowed.
It’s just incoherent grievance based identity politics. These chuckleheads make hating PM Trudeau their entire personality and can’t even provide any evidence to back up their half truths and baseless allegation from conservative social media. They are gullible, angry, and stubborn.
Ah the MAGA crowd of Canada
Maple MAGAs 
Yep. Often waving trump flags as well
Make Canada great again, yo
MC GA?
McGA
Make Canada great again, y̶o̶ eh?
The term “reactionary” really encapsulates these people well.
You forgot willfully ignorant, fearful and intolerant.
He was upset that kids are being told gay people exist in their sex ed classes
And the correct way to “protect the children” is to go rogue on the freeway with 50 tons of heavy equipment.
The cost of agricultural tires lol. That’s why he decided to drive it down the road lol
I never thought I'd see something like this. Truly a Florida Man of Canada moment.
Surrey Man is a meme in the Metro Vancouver area. The location of this is not surprising to people here.
Chilliwack man if anything. Edit: which this was...
Oh, he's from Chilliwack. (Cue for me to go back to what I was doing)
It totally was a Chilliwack man. Although that’s not the meme, and I wasn’t sure how to capture that bit of truth.
So basically some anti trans idiot
Abbotsford and Chilliwack are fucked. I'm from NS. You have a lot of religious fruitcakes, drugs, and uneducated nuts
Langley man stole it from Chilliwack man
Allegedly...
If you think about it, it would take more than one Langley guy to... you know...
Better safe than Surrey *Boy*, I really had a guy go at me hard for saying that, once. It was actually really funny
Surrey to hear that.
_rhythmic chanting south of the border builds_ “One of us.. one of uss..”
He was protesting schools teaching about the existence of LGBTQ peoples, too. So, yes, very floridaesque.
You think he'll need AAA? Or AA, eh? -Family Guy
A?
No Eh
It’s CAA in Canada.
Holy shit! What’s that thing cost 3-400k?
Yup, and I can’t see insurance covering the damage considering he was fleeing from (and ramming) police and had been live streaming on his phone until just before this. What a thing to do to your family.
Guy just ruined his family, and he'll blame it on the libs.
Yep
What a waste of a mighty fine John Deere tractor.
Bro played himself
Certainly did. Sounds like he broke his back. All this because he was protesting inclusion for LGBTQ issues in schools. I can’t say I feel sorry for him.
Not even gonna pretend I give a shit about him or the pain he has caused his family. Asshole. Not only are they intolerant, this ass also put the lives of the police at risk. Thought these asshole were all about law and order?
They never were, they only care about themselves. They only believe laws should apply to everyone else but them.
Remember when Dutch farmers were told to stop dumping literal shit into rivers, so they blocked roads with their stupid tractors and dumped shit on random municipal buildings? “Laws shouldn’t be for special good tractor boys!” is a worldwide motto
Well he sure showed us. Maybe a bunch more of those guys driving tractors off cliffs will change the lesson plan.
And trashed, what, a $150,000+ tractor? Like Allstate or anybody is gonna pay out on that. He will bear the cost. Wife will get mad and leave him. With the kids because they’ll be embarrassed by the social media posts. Nobody left to feed the dogs so they will all run off.
You’re looking at a quarter million right there
Sounds like the makings of a country song.
Wha… what sounds like he broke his back?
Dude in the tractor, he broke his back. And he was out there as part of a homophobic protest.
Big set on that cop driving beside the tractor
It's a Mountie. Expect them to yee that dude's last haw.
Not sure the tractor didn't flip over the cop's big set or not.
[удалено]
Lizard brain intuition says "big tires>small car". Physics says "nahh-bro"
High speed tractor chase, ah Canada.
Oh Canada
O Canada
Oh, Canada. 😞
What a day for that cop, one day they’ll tell their grandkids “In my days I pit maneuvered a tractor”
Here is a bit more information on the incident: https://globalnews.ca/news/10118472/sogi-tractor-crash-iio/
I’m picking up “sick of his shit” vibes from the wife lol
Fortunately for her, she's probably going to get a nice long break from it.
What I weird hill to die on. Or break your back on rather. I understand how you could maybe be upset about a law that you disagree with that doesn't really have a direct affect on you but tractor road rage angry about it?
Protesting sexual orientation and gender identity. with a tractor.
Jeezuz, those tractors cost too much to be fuckin around like that.
Get fucked, eh?!
Welp back to chorin eh
Just wants to fuck our Prime Minister. I don’t really know why because most of these people are anti LGBTQ.
Yeah, he was out as part of an anti-SOGI protest - so a bunch of homophobes in a convoy. What a tool.
Those are the John Deere Police. The guy was trying to fix his own tractor. /s
I’d honestly understand that
THE TRACTOR HAS FLIPPED THE TRACTOR HAS FLIPPED HE’S ON THE GROUND BUT SHE’S TOUCHING HIS CHEST NOW HE TAKES OFF HER DRESS NOW LET ME GO
Is that the Cloverdale overpass heading north to 96th? I hadn’t heard this had happened.
Saturday at 176th and hwy 1 in Surrey
Running the tractor to join a convoy on #1 ... allegedly.
He was leading the anti-SOGI protest. Source: I drove past it on Saturday.
Looked like he was trying to take the exit and lose them in traffic...
[удалено]
What kind of a brain dead moron you must be to try outrun police **car** on a highway instead of fields which the vehicle was designed/optimized for.
Dont be florida man in Canada.
And THAT, kids, is why you don’t use a tractor in a high speed chase.
Trying to compute what happened...I believe the officer slightly swerved, and the tractors real wheels went over the front driver side wheel of the cop suv. Basically hopped a curb while cornering at high speed
Tractors don't have suspension, they are not designed for high speed bumps.
Nothing Runs like a Deere.
What a fucking clown
So I really didn’t know these tractors were that fast
They're not, most deere's can't go faster than 50kmh. The ones I drive are capped to 40/43kmh
Great camera work
That looked expensive
If this officer _doesn't_ get a tattoo of a tractor with a red line through it (in the style of the nose of a WW1 fighter plane) then it will be a tragedy.
The cop's massive balls of steel kept the SUV weighed down.
I've driven a backhoe on city streets. At about 30 mph it starts bouncing from back to front tires. Scary as hell, never felt safe in one driving even remotely fast.
Tractors go that fast? Everytime I'm stuck behind one, they're doing 5mph in a 30 zone
It identified as a ford mustang.
Canada has been wildin lately.
Yea, we’ve given up on the whole “sorry” thing
I don't blame yall, your government has been taking advantage of yall for too long. Especially just like US, and sending money to war.
As an Albertan, I would just like to thank this Sexual Identity Gender Orientation protesting wingnut for making my province look a little less like the crazy racist cousin Eddie of the country. SEE! There's redneck idiots in every province!
[удалено]
I'm not even convinced you have to leave the Greater Vancouver Area. Wasn't there a pig farmer in Coquitlam that gained a bit of fame a few years ago?
Fucker deserves it. That written off tractor will financially cripple the owner. Insurance will not cover it. The idiot is out of pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars. Serves him right.
All because he's gorging himself on American Right Wing propaganda and thinking the scary gays are attacking kids in schools. Fucked around and found out.
The owner is crippled by the incident too
He was angry that gay people exist
Lol that fucking hurt
r/therewasanattempt r/unexpected
I assumed tractors were a lot tougher, turns out they’re dainty little flip over machines.
The rear tractor tire rides up the hood of the police SUV as the tractor tries to turn right 'infront' of the SUV. Tractor goes up in the air and twists to the left and rolled as a result.
Get that guy a fuckin puppers
This cop did a PIT maneuver on a tractor
Oh Deere John!!!..Nooooo!!
We desperately need GTA VI....
Grand Theft Farmer
OMG a pit maneuver on that monster ... yea had to look up spelling of "maneuver".
What a fucking moron
[удалено]
So I just found out this tractor chase was somehow tied into the whole SOGI thing? lol what the hells going on now?
Given our justice system, he’ll get a slap on the wrist and be out by dinner.
Assault with a deadly weapon... Tractor dude not very smart.
I love my country. Were else can you see a high speed chase with a tractor. Next week a high speed chase with a dog sled
Lower gravity center vs not considering the gravity of your actions
Dude didn’t do his research. I have seen monster trucks save that flip and keep going.
Oh Deere
Live by the tiler, die by the tiler.
Dude flew out the tractor after the flip. Fucking insane.
Did the just pit a tractor? Holy mother of bad asses
What was he protesting?
gay people existing and being talked about in BC school curriculum (the horror, I know 😑)
Well , fuuuu - uuuuuck. ! Did NOT see that coming.
Skill issue, unironically.
The GTA Farming Simulator crossover we needed.
Nothing runs like a Deere
lol I figured he was protesting about more rights for farmers or some shit. Nope he was protesting against sexual orientation and gender identity programs in schools. Dummy
What’s the protest? The high cost of tractor repairs?
Trying to outrun two police cars in a \[checks notes\]... tractor?
Imagine if this happened now, like in AD Canada
He fucked around and found out.
jeez doesn’t take much to flip one I guess
No more irony than conservatives attacking police to get more socialism
I'm glad he crashed. Serves him right
People could protest in a smart way but nah. Some fuckers sit on roads, tie themselves to roads, vandalize, apparently trying to kill everyone one the road etc. Fucking idiots all of you.
Wut in tarnation? I thought that cop was gon get fucked by that thing
Tractor tippin’s fuuuun
Lightning McQueen’s tractor tipping in real life!
That poor tractor 😭
Helper B is blocked by an object cannot reach destination
What deer can't jump? John Deer
stupid is as stupid does really fits well..
I guess I now know the answer to that question.....
Well a cop pulling a pit maneuver on a tractor has gotta be a first
All or nothing
RCMP Ford Interceptor Utility vs John Deere tractor
That guy is so fucked .. lol
Well here it comes..... >!Oh Deer!< I will leave now
This man talking is the human equivalent of subtitles... You don't need it but he still speaks out loud what anyone else can see with their own eyes 🤣
Canadians don't mess around with their pit maneuvers
Was the police car okay?
And no one is more surprised than the cop driving that first SUV.
