Ever wondered whats it's like to drive a tratter?

Hippo · Jun 11, 2012

Ere's a video someone put up to test a camera mount. Also doubles as an example test drive of a tratter. Turn the sound up to max to get the full effect. No pigs were hurt during the making of this video.

Sounds a bit like the old Bristol double deckers I used to drive

Cool ride, the only thing I can see wrong is the driver missed a perfect opportunity at 4.02

130mph plus my 90will be no tractor

But you'd have to be suicidal to try it 4.0quad cam un modified engine 260bhp

This is the sound I grew up with, and I love it. My old man used to bring defenders home sometimes when he was a countryside ranger. Was when I was between 4 and 10 and I always loved the noise and being up high. It was a special treat and that magic has never left me. That's why I'm so pleased to be a green oval owner so early in life, even if it aint a loud creaky tratter

A bumpy old ride or a crap mount

Camera mount was indeed a failure, you might want to see my newer video on rougher ground;

Only a suction vice on the rear window, so wasnt expecting much!

That's not off roading, its driving on an unmetalled road, also known as a green lane.

Didn't know there was a difference.

I had my first ever green laning stint at the weekend in the Lake District. Here's a vid taken by my wife on my iPad, who incidentally loved it as much as I did!

Nice. Good to see not all land rovers have a tin of marbles loose in the back.

If yer gets yerself a mount to hold the phone yer can make better quality videos. Les camera wobble gives much better results.

Really enjoyed watching that, where abouts were you?

i'll try that lane next time i'm up in the lakes

Decent mount makes all the difference ....specially on a series

....also worth trying different mounting locations for the camera to get a bit of variety when you edit .
I like a bit of gentle suitable music in the background BUT not everyone does just personal taste .

Great vid mistericeman! Love the Dads Army reference at the start.

bang, bang, clatter, clatter! - You gotta love Defenders and Series!!

That Green Lane in the Lake District looks like it goes through some really lovely landscapes. Nice.

This was near Windermere - I think the vid was U5798 & U5797 combined (You can see where I cross a road between the two).
If you go onto Cumbria.gov website there is a laning section on there where they list all the BOAT's and give them a RAG status, along with a very brief description.

I basically plotted them all manually on the 'Outdoors' app on my iPad, then just used that to navigate between the lanes around the area - never had so much fun! Not to mention the scenery and views there are just amazing.

I'm going to try and get a few more of the videos uploaded tonight. I think this will like to all my videos (once they are there) if you want to see any more.
