It’s A Tractor, Officer - Not A Ferrari
A German potato farmer is fighting traffic police after they claimed to have clocked his tractor speeding - at 76mph. Thorsten Holck, of Irschenberg, Germany, was baffled when his 24mph farm vehicle was booked. He said: "I can guarantee it's no supercar."

Stair Case
Sticking Point For Drunken Wager Over A Tractor
A Polish farmer is facing jail after a drunken bet in which he drove his two-ton tractor (we don’t known if it was a Massey-Ferguson) down a set of stairs in the middle of a town square in Tczew. He said: "After a few vodkas the staircase seemed a lot wider than it really was and nowhere near as steep." But the vehicle got jammed and he fled - only to be caught by police an hour later back in the pub after witnesses gave cops a description.
FOOTNOTE: Messy Ferguson.

Taking Notes
That Compulsive Easting Just Gets My Goat
You think you're having a bad day? A German farmer lost 10,000 Euros ($13,500) when it was eaten by Steffi, his goat. Martin Radlberger, 34, from Rosenheim in Germany left the notes on the kitchen table when he went to answer the phone. But when he returned he Steffi just finishing off the last crisp new note of the money he wanted to use to buy a tractor. Radlberger immediately called a vet, who performed an emergency operation on the animal. "Now I have almost all my money back, and Steffi has had a hard lesson" the farmer says, adding that the vet had kept three of the soggy 100 Euro notes to pay for the surgery.
