I can't imagine going that fast with that short of a veihicle, one twitch and you'd be flippen ! Try 40-45 mph on a B. Back in 70s uncle got grampas B. Was about 30 mile trip to B's new home. Uncle started driving B while aunt followed in pickup. After some time decision was made to chain B to truck. Things started out OK but aunt had no knowledge of hand signals, she thought every hand gesture meant " go faster" . Uncle was pretty sure B got "air" a few times. Seemed like a L O N G time to 1st stop sign, which he says probly saved his life. Uncle and B brakes were very hot at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redneckchevy9 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 What is the world's fastest tractor? In 1934 it was the Allis Chalmers Model U. The record setting speed of 65.45 miles per hour was set by Ab Jenkins, a speed record that went unchallenged for 81 years. 34 of these tractors were built with a special transmission for speed. Allis Chalmers is known as the first company to put tires on it's farm tractors. To be another first in racing, Allis Chalmers partnered with Firestone Ag tire and Pennzoil to showcase what all three could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
