. Yes, the link is in Swedish. Google Translate is your friend. A-traktorer, to save ploughing through the link in Google English, are a means whereby young Swedes can get to drive a vehicle on the road without having to be 18. The vehicle is supposedly a farm tractor and to qualify as such it needs to meet several requirements. Get a bit creative and all manner of unexpected machines can be yours. Restricting the speed to 30 or so km/
h is done by locking out all gears exc
ept first and maybe
second so you’ll be going around with
lots of revs.
Anyway, I was strolling around early this week when I heard the sound of somebody proceeding with an unexpectedly high number of revs for such a low speed. It was a Merc W210 pickup conversion , just like this:
On the back was to be seen a large red triangle. An A-traktor in the wild! . Beside myself with excitement Quite interested I trotted after it hoping for a picture at the next traffic lights, but sadly it wasn’t that slow and trundled out of sight.
So, something else crossed off the bucket list.
