Wonderfully pointless
Add to that a little rapturous applause from an overheating IT office in the Midlands, too. Well done Finnish nutter!
Typical
Typical of the building trades - turn up late for a job!
Great acheivement but...
Kuusamo is nowhere near the far north of Finland. Its only just inside the Artic Circle (The wife and I went there for our honeymoon). Still impressive (if strange) but if you're going to do something that odd, do it properly.
What's the artic circle?
Is that something to do with the human heart?
What price tradtion?
Once upon a time, no Finn would have contemplated such a tractor journey in anything but a Zetor (or maybe a Massey Ferguson if they were posh). Sure, the Chinese mini digger may have caterpillar tracks and a comfortable weatherproof enclosed canopy, but that's not the same thiing as feeling the icy wind blowing through your Karvalakki (fur cap). Now that would be Sisu.
no breakdowns?
If there weren't any, this says something for the manufacturer...
