Old Tractor, New Engine: V8 Combine Harvester vs Shelby Muscle Car

Ridiculous Rides

HAVE you ever wondered what happens when you take a traditional Combine Harvester and put an epic spin on this old classic? In a remote part of Finland, farmer Harald Bore has done just that. Complete with a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado 8.2 Litre V8 engine, this 1967 Fahr M44 is now more at home on the track, than on the farm.  Videographer / Director: Bob Callway Producer: Frazer Randalls Editor: Ian Phillips

00:00This is my combined harvester, dragster.

00:04It's funny and dangerous. Anything can go wrong.

00:20Look at it. It's looking old, but also crazy.

00:25The countryside of Norway is home to a farm vehicle with a difference.

00:33This is very special.

00:34So how do you get to own such a unique machine?

00:37I was a little drunk.

00:42I meet the builder. This is very fun.

00:46After some drinks in the evening, I buy it.

00:49The creator of this crazy combine is Petri from Finland.

00:56And it's not his first wild conversion.

00:59I have a world fasted Skoda and I have made Rolls-Royce trucks there.

01:06Both of which sound relatively sane compared to this super-fast far.

01:11It's a crazy drive and it's fast.

01:19Here is the cockpit.

01:21I load this place.

01:23This is from the original combine.

01:27It's very fun to drive.

01:29Here is used when you go on the track.

01:32You push this and you go faster.

01:37And the brakes are like a Cadillac.

01:41There's also a little brake on the wheel behind, but it's dangerous to use.

01:47So I don't use that.

01:48And what better way to see what this vehicle is made of than in a drag race against some true American muscle.

02:02A Shelby GT350.

02:10This machine is not street legal in Norway.

02:13It's crazy.

02:15It's fast and dangerous.

02:21Anything can go wrong.

02:31This is a win.

02:45This vehicle is very fun to drive. I love it.

03:07This was fun.

03:09This dragster combine harvester is open to drive.

03:13Really fun.

03:16Thank you for making this harvester for me.

03:18That's a good dragster.

03:19Next time I don't get the combine.

03:20Okay?

03:21Okay.
