Great stuff! Didn't even know that this kind of derby was a "thing".

Knew they did it, never seen it.  Think they do it at the local 4H fair

Looks a bit dicey to me :))

We use to have these at the county fair. Only trouble was after about 5 years and the high scrap prices in the early 2010's the supply of used up combines dried up.
