BBC Three - The Fast and the Farmer-ish, Series 2, Episode 1

All six driving teams battle it out to stay in the contest and avoid the tractor-off.

All six tractor driving teams are revved up and ready to test their skills and nerve to the limit... but who’ll end up in the tractor-off to be knocked out first?

Our six teams are primed and ready for battle.

From the far reaches of the UK - with tractors big, small and medium - these tractor-mad young farmers can’t wait to show off their skills and agility. They’re eyeing up the opposition, and there’s no end of fighting talk. Who has what it takes to win this round and avoid the tractor-off elimination? Staying safe is the name of this game, and it can all change in a heartbeat.

First up is the bale baton relay race - a test of speed and precision. Adrenaline is pumping as the teams approach the starting line. Who’ll be cool under fire, and who’ll crack under pressure? 

Next up is supersized bowling - not as easy as it looks. Again, skill and precision are everything - there are a few twists and turns along the way. The teams' worst nightmare is the tractor-off, and Jimmy’s balance beam promises to be a real test of nerves. Watch out for ingenious tactics when it comes to gaining any advantage to avoid the drive of shame home.
