"Pretty much the biggest tractor you can get"? Boy, you can tell those officers are City Boys! :lol:

At least they didn't have to deal with Big Bud!

There are actually several of those Big Buds, each one more gigantic than the last. We're talking about 50 feet wide with all eight custom-made tires in place.

The one I posted the video link to is largest one they built. I plan to go to the Farm Progress Show in Rantoul sometime to see it in person, along with the IH Turbine Tractor which got recently restored.

Can you imagine that "Dear Chief" memo?

Dear Chief, we were all inside screwing off when a demented felon destroyed all the cars.

This is just about the strangest thing I have ever heard happening in or around a station house. Believe me when I say I have worked some tough houses in some tough hoods, but this beats it all.

Some info that was posted on the forum I found this at, someone posted that the police station was a bank at one time, so its very sound proof, or that department needs to find a better hearing test to administer :lol:

Newport VT police dept new hearing test, can you hear a tractor rolling over police cars?, if yes, then pass

How did he keep from turning over?? the tractor pictured is a 6 wheel tractor not as big as the one in the video. He is in some hot water...

Wayne, all I can say after having taught in Vermont is that you have to go there to understand! Newport is the "Northeast Kingdom," up on the New Hampshire/Canada border, and it's a very different world in those parts. I taught in the southern part of the state, and all I can say is if you've ever seen Super Troopers a lot of the police in Vermont aren't that far removed from what I saw.

That story was all over the news around here today, and I was amazed at how much damage that guy did. Orleans County is a poor area, too. That's really going to do some damage to the budget for the Sheriff's office.

Charlie is right about "the Kingdom". You can see a moose walking down main st in some of those towns and nobody blinks an eye. I cover the northern part of VT in my work and happened to be in Newport that day. Never heard so many sirens all at once!

Well, his true name is Maurice Ronald Pion, but his friends call him "Mo Ron" for short. :wacko:

Hope he enjoyed himself for those ten minutes. How long does it take to pay $250,000 restitution when you're earning 13 cents for each license plate you stamp out?

What a gomer. Although, I have to give him credit for originality. Far more interesting than the usual spitting, spray painting, window-breaking, defecating, or acid-throwing most idiots use to "get even" with parked, unattended police cars. :rolleyes:

MoRon indeed. :mellow:

Based on personal experience, better the police cars than your personal car. I walked out one night to find a bullet hole in the camper shell on my brand new '94 F150. Seems someone took offense with the North Patrol Division and shot up our back lot.

I've seen Super Troopers, and thought, well now that's a real skewed view of the police. Now you tell me that's not that far from the truth? Where do I sign?

Well, since you asked....

Vermont does tend to be somewhat centralized, so you might be able to find various towns and, after last week, I suspect the Orleans County Sheriff's Department might be looking for some new personnel..

Why would anyone at the Sheriff's Office get fired cause some nutjob pothead drove a tractor monster-truck style into a non-secured parking lot? You wanted them to station someone on the roof with a Barret just in case something like this ever happened? Perhaps they should have went out in the lot and did a Tiananmen Square with the guy? :rolleyes:
