I guess this farmer is in the sh*t then

Bloody hell, are German police to ineffectual that it takes this an armoured car and an elite unit seven hours to arrest a man driving a tractor and muckspreader?

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German farmer angry with police for trying to confiscate his tractor wrecked three patrol cars and evaded capture for seven hours before an elite unit managed to arrest him, a police spokesman said on Wednesday.

The farmer, 53, was pulled over by police for driving his tractor without a licence, despite several previous warnings.

The officers called in three patrol cars for help before asking the farmer to get out of his vehicle.

He refused, and proceeded to ram the cars with his tractor, making full use of its attached muck spreader and hydraulic fork. Officers were only just able to scramble out of harm's way.

The farmer then drove into a forest, where he eluded a manhunt involving two helicopters and an armoured car for seven hours.

He was finally found by an elite police team in a barn on his farm in Lauterbach, in central Germany.

"In the countryside we're used to people going at police with muck spreaders, but this was something else," a police spokesman said.

The farmer faces charges of assault and resisting police.

Snoopy I live in a county of these unbalanced sadistic buggers. They take great pleasure in waiting until the middle of the tourist season when the roads are clogged and its hot as hell before hitting the trail with muckspreaders filled with some noxious concoction that must surely be banned under the geneva convention

Pretty much like up here then.    Same tractor hauled 12 loads of slurry through the village yesterday .... with 12 return journeys pulling empty but still odorous and dripping tank.

Yes but the stuff down here is specially fermented by the farmers who think that outsiders are anyone not from their village. The stuff is becomming as legendary as the beast of bodmin. A tourist drew some that he had seen:

   I don't know about the Beast of Bodmin - It looks more like the Turd of Truro to me.....
