I thought you would of engineered the tractor to sink and be full of air!

 

Hence why I one has asked me to try making 1:001_rolleyes::biggrin:

Even with the tyres water ballasted to 70% it weighed in at nearly 8 tonnes but big waves would pick it up and move it about.

 

Had a wave hit the back window once (mekrilon perspex) and break it. The waved washed over and through the cab and took me out of the door!
