HAVE you ever wondered what happens when you take a traditional Combine Harvester and put an epic spin on this old classic? In a remote part of Finland, farmer Harald Bore has done just that. Complete with a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado 8.2 Litre V8 engine, this 1967 Fahr M44 is now more at home on the track, than on the farm.

00:00This is my combined harvester, dragster.
00:04It's funny and dangerous.
00:07Anything can go wrong.
00:20Look at it.
00:21It's looking old, but also crazy.
00:24The countryside of Norway is home to a farm vehicle with a difference.
00:33This is very special.
00:34Having been souped up with a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado 8.2 litre V8 engine.
00:41This 1967 Farr M44 is now more at home on the track than in the field.
00:48It weighs in at 4,000 pounds, packs 500 horsepower and has a top speed of 95 miles per hour.
00:57Making it the fastest combine harvester in the world.
01:02So how do you get to own such a unique machine?
01:05I was a little drunk.
01:07I meet the builder.
01:12I thought this is very fun.
01:14After some drinks on the evening, I buy it.
01:20The creator of this crazy combine is Petri from Finland.
01:24And it's not his first wild conversion.
01:27I have a world-vasted Skoda and I have made a Rolls-Royce dragster.
01:33Both of which sound relatively sane compared to this super-fast Farr.
01:40It's a crazy drive and it's fast.
01:48Here is the cockpit.
01:50I load this place.
01:52This is from the original combine.
01:55It's very fun to drive.
01:57Here is used when you go on the track.
02:02You push this and you go faster.
02:05And the brakes are like a Cadillac.
02:09There's also a little brake on the wheel behind but it's dangerous to use.
02:15So I don't use that.
02:16And what better way to see what this vehicle is made of than in a drag race against some true American muscle.
02:30A Shelby GT350.
02:32This machine is not street legal in Norway.
02:41It's crazy.
02:44It's fast and dangerous.
02:49Anything can go wrong.
02:59This will win.
03:00It's easy to win.
03:01I'm just a difficult one.
03:05I'm just a super-sp sitter for a big ride.
03:11I'm just a very big riding in the mountain.
03:13And I'm just a monocular.
03:17I'm just a little bit eating.
03:19I'm just a bit of a ride.
03:21I'm just a big riding.
03:22I'm just a big riding in a ski boat.
03:25And I'll do a little ride.
03:26This vehicle is very fun to drive, I love it.
03:35This was fun.
03:37This dragster combine harvester is open to drive.
03:41Really fun.
03:43Thank you for making this harvester for me.
03:45That's a good dragster.
03:46Next time I don't get the combine.
03:48Okay?
03:49Okay.
04:11Thank you so much.
