Went to a car show today and seen a police tractor, thought to myself (Why). Had to ask what do you use it for, bet you cannot guess the answer


Cost £78,000 Blue lights, yellow and white graphics,siren the lot.

pulling a police boat out of the river?

keep the tractor drives in check

I swear they had these already

It's to raise crime awareness and prevent "rural thefts from farms" as far as I remember?

Would be one hell of a high-speed chase!

Bit old now unfortunately

Sorry missed last post. But could not believe the police would spend that kind of money as a demonstrator.

the worst thing is we paid for it!!

The police /public never paid for it!

The tractor is a demo that's loaned out to the police for display purposes at rural shows.

The only money the police will have spent on it is the livery and lights.

Not even a JCB Fastrac..... pffft

For catching people speeding on the motorway hopefully.

They would easily catch people on the M4 with a tractor, the average speed on that cr*p piece of tarmac is regularly zero!!

Gives a new meaning to "I've just been PULLED by the police".

Somebody found a copy of "Yakety Sax" and has gone to an awful lot of trouble to get a car chase to speed up and play it to?
