Awesome basic training session with:
Bianke Fouche - Fynbos Extension Officer : WWF South Africa
Bianke is a natural behind the wheel and probably one of my best students I have had the pleasure to instruct 💪🏻

Disclaimer: This is not a vehicle test or direct vehicle comparison. The video is intended as an educational look at what the drivers did differently, including line choice, momentum, driving technique and tyre pressure.
So our tractor is in for repair, luckily the Ranger Tremor was there to fill in.
Ironically the Trail control allowed me to pull the train without effort, guess it has more uses than just tuff off roading 🤣

What was the difference?
The trail turn assist or as I call it "doughnut mode" is a great and very useful off-road feature added to the Ranger Tremor, old school tractor operators will know how useful independent rear breaking can be😉
