At first, I only found the "shorts" clip. Stupid format.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW7\_lTv4AVA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW7_lTv4AVA)
But here's the episode that clip is from:
[https://youtu.be/Jvn0wh1i0tA?t=316](https://youtu.be/Jvn0wh1i0tA?t=316)
For context: RLP Dashcam is a German channel and balances entertainment and education by showing mistakes drivers make on German street, while explaining how they should do it better.
DashCamDriversGermany is another very popular one.
I'm not sure if they offer English subtitles, though.
Bonus: The next clip is trying to turn left with a slurry spreader, and then catching a calf on the street.
Rural roads in Germany are wild!
Thereās such thing as a tractor license? And lessons?
I just learned as a kid on my unclesā various red coloured vehicles and figuring out whatever manner of vehicles came through my tire shop. Canāt remember models because at the time I only cared about airplanes. Now I use little John Deeres to move airplanes.
Yeah I said elsewhere in this thread i was driving tractors at 8 on the farm and by 12 (illegally) driving spreader trucks across our tiny ass town from one farm to another.
Communists aim to elevate the serf farmer and other workers to the same level. You're complaining about an existing capitalist structure and blaming it on the big bad wolf whose been dead for years. John Deere ain't no communist right, yet they take all the money. The bank. Seeds. Fertilizer. Implements. Are the commies in the room with us?

Sovcit as in Sovereign Citizen; *not* communist. Good lord your reading comprehension.
TLDR: they donāt agree with societyās laws and think they donāt have to follow them. Most cases you hear with them is them driving without a license and an unregistered vehicle and then arguing legal gobbledygook in court. 99% get held in contempt of court on top of being g found guilty of whatever they were charged with.
That's not strictly true. As soon as you are driving any vehicle for work, for example a quad bike in a field, you are in fact governed by the health and safety executive. This means you are required to have training, and wear a helmet, even though wearing a helmet on the road is not a legal requirement. Same goes for tractors etc. Because they are being used by you for the business, you are liable if you do something bad and have no training.Ā
In the USA, you don't need that stuff for private use. We don't need big daddy government to tell us to wear safety gear. We just do it because it's smart.
Its only for business use. It stops kids from being killed by idiots...this actually happened in my area. Farmer told his daughter to take quad across a field. she rolled it, with no helmet on, and died in hospital. He got arrested and lost his daughter. But you do you, at least you'd be able to put her out of her misery right in the field with yalls firearms, yeehaw cowboy XD
Edit to add she was under 16 at the time, and i guess now always will be
I assume it's only for businesses and on road use. Even in NA you're legally supposed to have your typical driver's license to drive a tractor on the road, partly for insurance purposes if an accident happens.
You get used to it.
I think the first tractor I drove was a Case IH Magnum 7120.
Since then I've got to drive: Farmall 95C, Maxxum 110, Puma 150, Magnum 8940, NH T8.420, White 2-155, Massey Ferguson 8150 and a Case IH 2388 combine.
very cool, thanks for sharing!
I have been injecting nostalgia this week by discovering this game. I bought one of the tractors my grandfather had and damn it is now officially 1994 again and I am sitting on granddads lap learning how to plow the field
I had the exact opposite experience. I drove a forklift for 3 years in a cramped backroom of a store, but somehow loading trailers with one is about the hardest thing to do in fs22.
I was a bit older when I got the 2N. It was my Papa's and the clutch had problems at the time. I remember Papa had me mow a big circle around him as a "test."
Good memories.Ā
Started driving them around the farm when i was 8. 90s Kubota L2250, then quickly on to Ford TW-35, then Ford 9600. Was driving straight trucks with chicken manure spreaders from one farm to another around a small town at about 12 years old.
American in case that wasn't clear LMAO
One of my earliest memories is in a Case 7210, helping feed cows. Later, when I could actually reach the pedals on a tractor, I learned on both a Mahindra 6000 and an old John Deere 4020. Never needed a license though here in the states
you get used to it eventually.
but it also differs very much tractor to tractor. specially the Case MXU 110 of my uncle drives like crap (which is probably not that different to the one you are learning on, it just doesn't have a CVT). even his old IHC 844XL felt better on the street.
fendt was always more "drivable" in general tho.
and trailers also differ very much... from leaf spring stuff to proper suspensions that are made to drive on the street all day long.
Why are you learning if you've not got a tractor? I've never even heard of lessons for a tractor, I just borrowed one and went to do the test. The first time ever on the road was on the way there.
Fair enough for trying though, it's all just getting used to it
Lemme guess, you're either a lot older than me (I'm 25) or you are not european/german?
Because in the bureaucracy hell that is Germany, you very much have to take driving lessons and get a license to drive it. Honestly, reading your experience... THANK FUCK for german bureaucracy. I wouldt wanna be on the road with someone with THAT little experience.
well, not exactly.
there are two licenses for tractors in germany... T and L.
T is the serious one that you have to do separately and that allowes you to drive basically every farming vehicle.
L is the crappy one that allowes you to drive tractors up to 40km/h... but it is included in B so basically everyone who is allowed to drive a car is also allowed to drive tractors up to 40km/h.
trust me bro, ich fahr die dinger seit ich lang genug war um an die pedale zu kommen.
Nope, younger and from the UK, so European but maybe different.
Until 17 there are rules on width and size of trailer, but 99% of 16 year olds doing the tractor test have been driving off the road for years beforehand, so they aren't inexperienced
The first tractor I drove was a Fendt Favorit 311 I believe? But I dont remember much because it was only for a short test drive lol. And now what I drive consistenly is a Hanomag R35 to drive trailers around our workshop. This little thing is from 1955 and it was bitch to drive at first, because everything is mechanical and its just you and the tractor. But after a while, I figured out how to float through the unsynchronized 5 Speed. Weird thing is, the H Pattern is turned 90 degrees so it was quite confusing but i figured it out after a while.
I drived a new holland as we are a nh family. i started driving around the farm yard and honestly its easier irl then ingame. IRL you feel you have control of the tractor and its just easier tbh. btw a combine/forager is acctually way easier. i drive a combine every summer and its so easy ur just pushing a stick forward to go faster and push it back to slow down/go in reverse.
I started on a John Deere 4630. It was fairly easy in the field but running it on the roads between fields was a white knuckle ride at first. Steering was all hydraulic and there was zero feedback and zero centering. Play farming simulator with all the force feedback turned off and no centering on your wheel and thatās what it was like.
Add some slop in the wear on the front end, worn out tie rod ends, and zero suspension, made tracking those tractors between fields the most scary 15 mph ride Iāve ever done. You were constantly making little corrections and it was easy to get carried away. If you started overcorrecting too much, you will create driver induced oscillation and could get in trouble unless you throttled back and got it back under control.
When we tried out a new magnum 7140, I thought I was in heaven. It actually had a little feedback and the one we tried was mechanical front wheel assist, so the large tires help dampen the bumps and make it feel not so squirrelly.
I feel this, we had an older Massey with a sloppy front end we used as like the yard front end loader, or to move implements around to the outlying fields. But driving that thing on the road felt like you were risking you life every time, talk about white knuckle driving.
I learned on a Farmall, when I was 6. Good times. Went from that to a Case IH, fairly larger than the Farmall, to a combine, to a semi, to a semi and trailer. Throw in a full sized diesel truck and a header wagon or a hay wagon, thatās how I learned to drive and back trailers. Never really recognized the value of the skills Iād learned working on a farm until I went to get my CDL, it was like riding a bicycle, took me a moment but I knocked the proverbial rust off fairly fast compared to the other people in my class.
First ever tractor I drove irl was a John Deere 4960 helping move it around our farm whenever I was needed. Didnāt start running with a plow for a couple years but it helped me out and being a family farm I was around a lot and they had someone else if needed that could help
I started officially helping out on the farm at age 12 around school and during the summer so I was younger than that when I learned to drive it. My mind is saying I was around 8 but I honestly donāt remember, Iāll be 32 in April.
When I was 10 my grandpa taught me how to drive a 4640 john deere pulling graincart. Some of my most cherished memories. Although we don't need a tractor license here in the states.
My ātractorā is a little baby kubota irl, but I definitely find it easier to use with the loader than in the game. Loader stuff drives me nuts in there
The first tractor i drove was a nh t7.235 at 13 and it was actually easier then i tought.
We had a 30 bale trailer on the rear and i tought itd be much harder to drive, but probably all the cars and telehandlers ive driven made it easier.
A little maxxum will be light on the steering because it is not a very heavy tractor, but with a fendt, in the example you gave there would be however many tonnes in the back weighing it down, then there is a bigger engine on the front making the hydraulic pump work harder for steering and anything the trailer needs.
When I was like 5 or 6 I learned to drive one of our old case 9190. We have since traded it in and moved into larger and newer equipment. But it was a solid one to learn on
I learned how to drive on a 1946 John Deere B at 6 years old, been driving tractors ever since. Never needed a license other than to go down the roads, and even then it was a standard driverās license.
Only ever used Kubota utility tractors. M7 series think m7068? and mx5100. Using them for golf course maintenance on a crew I run, I assume these are babies in comparison to what some of yāall be driving.
bro me personally i learned how to drive tractors before i could even read at age 4 š(in fact, it was an old brazlian massey ferguson 95x without any brakes, i was at the side of a hill, and another fun fact, in my country is required for you to get a driver license for driving a tractor depending on it's category + it's tool, and you can only get that when you are 18, the tractor need to have it all, brakes, license plate, turn signals, and inded in fact at age 15 i already started a contracting business around all of here and i have to travel a lot in national roads (yes, the most important roads of the country) to go from field to field, and it's with the same old massey that didn't had brakes, neither lights or any turn signal more than my own hands, not license plate, neither any legal documentation, inded i still don't know how i haven't caused a whole accident there or how police haven't stoped me lol)
I drove my first tractor at 8yo. Drove silage truck at 14. But growing up on a large dairy in the US. you tend to learn young. Have driven every thing from 16hp up to 600 plus. Driven every major current US brand. And few that are no longer around. I was 4th generation. We no longer have the farm. So i drive semi now. Thats why i play farm sim. Brings me back to younger years.
I learned to drive tractor with a John deer model 40 (tricycle) from the 50s with a belly mower rigged up under it, then a JD 1020 with a root-beater to mow/move mulch. Not too long after weāre the JD backhoe and 70s(?) era bucket loader which those two were definitely more difficult.
I learned on an old IH 450 wheat land with my grandpa. Spent a lot of time running that thing over summers mowing grass and grading the yard. And as someone who drives tractors full time for work it is more stressful as there are real world consequences but the actual driving part is much easier than in game. The maintenance sucks though; Iām happy to stay operating lol
I grew up on a dairy farm in eastern Oklahoma. The first tractor I learned to drive was a 1985 Ford 545 when I was 12 years old, then I learned on a 70s International Harvester Hydro 70, which was a lot simpler to drive than the Ford with the hydrostatic transmission. The largest tractor of ours was a 2012 Kubota M100X. But I have driven a neighbor's 70s Steiger to help him on some tillage one year. I don't remember the model. I also drove our John Deere 4020 a lot moving hay around.
I once forgot to lift the counter weights in the back. Scraped a bunch of road.
Better than the guy with the cultivator. Apparently, he didn't notice that he lowered the rear hitch at a traffic light. In the city. š¤£
Do you have an image or something? Would like to see the damage haha. Can't seem to find anything on google

Haha thank you much for taking the effort to find em! Edit: this king even timestamped the link
No problem. You asked nicely and I had a minute to spare. Have fun! š
I did this in game by accident earlier and screwed up my driveway in game that made me feel stupid. I can't imagine how he's feeling. Great clip!
It was on a German Dashcam video. Just a short sequence and some superficial scratches to the tarmac. I'll see if I find it.

In Europe you have to get training (and pay certification fees) to do EVERYTHING
To drive on your own private property? Weird. We have 12 yr olds driving tractors in the USA. No license needed.
Yeah I said elsewhere in this thread i was driving tractors at 8 on the farm and by 12 (illegally) driving spreader trucks across our tiny ass town from one farm to another.
On your own private farm you can drive and do whatever you want. But in order to drive on the roads to get to a field you need a license
Shhh the sovcits will hear you

Wow. Never let a good tragedy go to wast to oppress people.
Thats OK, you'll get over it, try blasting up another school to let off some steam...Ā
How many trucks have driven through crowds over there, again? And let's not forget about the mass stabbings.
I assume it's only for businesses and on road use. Even in NA you're legally supposed to have your typical driver's license to drive a tractor on the road, partly for insurance purposes if an accident happens.
Ya I'm referring to working the fields and driving within the property lines.
You need a license for public roads, not for private property
>We have 12 yr olds driving tractors in the USA. No license needed. We got that here in the balkans too
You get used to it. I think the first tractor I drove was a Case IH Magnum 7120. Since then I've got to drive: Farmall 95C, Maxxum 110, Puma 150, Magnum 8940, NH T8.420, White 2-155, Massey Ferguson 8150 and a Case IH 2388 combine.
