Ok, so can you drive a tractor? Can you drive one backwards? Can you drive one backwards over 30 kilometres?
If you can answer the first 2 of these, then fair play to ya. If you can answer all 3, then your name must be Paddy Kennedy.
Paddy is a dairy farmer from Mount Leinster, Co.Carlow and on Sunday last, he broke the World Record for the longest distance travelled (30km) by a reversing tractor with a trailer hitched on. A 30' tri-axle trailer to be exact.
He smashed the previous 20.16km effort.
Have a gawk at it here:
On this morning's Dermot and Dave, the lads gave him a call to hear all about the endeavour and how he only had to stop for a touch of physio. Hard as nails I tell ya!!
He hopes they will get to the €7,000 mark for his three chosen charities
- The MLR Fielf Development Fund
- The Irish Cancer Society
- The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust
