A farmer in England used his Massey Ferguson 6475 tractor to push a Land Rover off the road after it tried to pass the tractor.

According to the Daily Mail, the incident between the farmer and passengers of the Land Rover was over a fox hunt.

The Land Rover belongs to a group involved with the Cryodon Hunt Saboteurs, a group dedicated to sabotaging the hunts of foxes and other animals.

The vehicle parked on private land while trying to disrupt the hunt and the farmer parked his tractor along the only exit.

Footage from March 12, 2016 shows the vehicle trying to drive past the tractor and the farmer steering his tractor into the Land Rover, forcing it into a ditch.



 

“I’ve got that all on camera, and you’re going down mate,” one of the passengers says in the video before bleeps are heard covering some strong language.

The vehicle’s driver tries to get the car out of the ditch and the cameraman turns to face the tractor head-on.

The farmer drives his tractor towards the passenger, hitting the Land Rover again and pushing it further into the ditch before driving away.

According to the group’s Facebook page, police were on the scene soon after the video finished, but took no action because the incident took place on private land.

Before trade and tariffs dominated the conversation, taxation was one of the biggest issues on farmers’ minds last year. From the carbon tax to capital gains, OFA worked with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and provincial partners to push for fair, practical solutions. We saw progress on carbon tax relief and capital gains, and we continue to advocate for modernized farm tax programs at both the provincial and federal levels.
