Local Christmas tractor run

If you look at the IOM on Google Maps you'll see why. It's got a significant agriculture industry.

Big Clive

Damn it looks like the I.O.M has more tractors than cars Clive :-)

United Kingdom brilliant

as camp as Christmas.🤣🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅

DC Allan

Fabulous!

Dr Andy Hill

It was just the best location to film it, as there was a place to clamp the camera.

Big Clive

I'm not involved in this event (yet).

Big Clive

WOW! I thought America had all of the rednecks!

Matt Larson

Clive & his LED light strings, his best effort yet.

Edward Parker

Strange across the street from the hospice shop. Interesting though.

Rocco Rizzo

or team up with a farmer :D

Kate Cole

I was wondering why that one tractor had a siren. Perhaps it's for rounding up renegade bovines???

Chuck Kirchner

Police tractor is probably the best thing I've ever seen. Really nice parade.

Matt Tester

Congratulations on pronouncing "accounting" correctly almost every time.

I don't know about this one, but the Norwegian police has a tractor for handling the police helicopters at the Gardermoen airport: https://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/nar-politiet-pa-gardermoen-skal-fakke-tjuver-som-ikke-loper-sa-fort/60782784

That was great, they could use a Ford Transit pace sleigh. A trucking company along Keuka Lake in NewYork used to decorate one of the tractor trailer along the highway billed as (The Santa Express) my favorite part was the chasing lights around the wheels and as billowing smoke. It was a cool effect for an otherwise static display. Thanks Clive

Jim

Helps if you read the title :)

That last one seemed to belong to the police themselves. Your cops do a lot of farming then?

Scott Miller

Absolutely awsome, good for them. Was that through Ramsey?

Yeah. Christmas has pretty much been cancelled this year. Although I did notice that local shops had completely sold out of sets of lights.

Big Clive

The island is almost all farmland.

Big Clive

Yes. Filmed with the same Moto G7 power that I make the other videos with. I mounted it to a railing so it was rock solid. Could have done with a bit more light sensitivity.

Big Clive

I don't know about Driver-less Cars, but I'm sure half those Tractors had no driver!

Andrew Donaldson

That was quite a nice fun community thing. Wish we had a bit more community bonding around here, though all people want to do is get pissed or off their faces on drugs. It is nice to see this sort of thing still happening in places like the I.O.M. I remember sailing up to Peel from Anglesey in July 1993 or4, and being invited to a Christmas party in a pub on July 21st or so, apparently a regular thing there. Don't know if it is still done, but was great fun anyway.

Mike Hughes

Damn that was a lot of tractors. For such a small place. Look great though. Merry Christmas.

Its like a fabulous Soviet military parade.

🚓...That looked quite impressive ...🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜

You'll have to get your own tractor for next year, Clive. I imagine it would be something to behold.

Santa came parading down our street today. -twasn't as grand as this.

Michael Thompson

Thank you for haring! Very good video, is this filmed with a smart phone?

Hub Rijcks

We managed to catch the tractor run coming thru St Johns to peel.

Clive, why not put a short vid up showing people how to mod their car wheel trims with those £1 Poundland Xmas led strings now on sale, for a New Year's Eve drive? The mod is a no-brainer of course but would make a good little video.

Ymir the Frost Giant

The tractors are fine though - I can see them driving through Las Vegas like that! Wonder if one could be modded into a 'monster limo'?

Ymir the Frost Giant

I think the boys and girls in (only) blue could have made a bit more of an effort. The trac

Talking of lights. They showed on the news videos of "George Square" last year, and of this year. From the look of things this year, you wouldn't know it was Christmas.

Andrew Donaldson

Very nice to see. As our festive / musical 'Round Table' Santa & Sleigh, no longer drives down our back streets, but instead parks up outside our large Shopping Mall.

Andrew Donaldson

I like it when people make an effort. This popped up on my feed yesterday - very impressive! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-hampshire-55246642

Great to see - this year our mobile Santa’s grotto ( think lorry with a grotto and loads of lights and sometimes another with a band / quire ) sadly this year cancelled due to the virus

RDM

They were travelling from location to location on the island, so they probably had the police presence to discourage impatient car drivers from overtaking in a dangerous manner.

Big Clive

They had used standard battery operated strings with the battery packs and lights cable tied to the inside of the wheels.

Big Clive

Thank you for sharing 👍🦾

Cerity

Wheel hub lighting works really well on tractors, especially the spiral and stars.

Wim

Just how unruly are these tractor drivers…operators?…expected to get. 2 police units per ‘rogue agricultural machine’ seems a bit on the nose, no? Edit: sorry, spoke to soon - evidently the vanguard is the agent provocateur!
