I found a tractor and lived to film it

[resident emil 1]

The other day I found a Tractor, the Cator 2009, on a hill just west of Solnichniy. It had half a tank of fuel and in a OK condition to drive. I drove it to Polana to stock up on some items in the supermarket, then to Dubrovka where I met up with a friend. Ran over lots of Zombies on my way there, unfortunately I got no kills for roadkill Zombies Together we agreed I should drive to Berezino and do a crazy race rough the town. Unfortunately I took a wrong turn east of Dubrovka and ended up in Olsha. I turned around and headed for Berezino. I was running on fumes when I rolled in to northern Berezino but managed to get the tractor to the gas station. We met up with another friend here and set out to find a jerry can. Once found, I refueled the tractor and set out for central Berezino. With the pedal to the metal and wildly honking the horn I trashed through the streets of Berezino. Coming up to the hospital a player spotted me and started firing at me and my tractor. Somehow I managed to evade the bullets, ziggzagged between the roadblocks and headed back to my friends. Refuled the tractor and decided to hide it somewhere. The story ended abruptly when I tried to park the tractor between two fir trees. Apparently there was a third tree hidden behind the others which I crashed into at 2 mph. The crash, while slow and gentle, was devastating. Causing a massive explosion and killing me. Anyhow, it was an amazing and hilarious experience driving around in the tractor.

Best of all I FRAPS'd all of it. For your enjoyment I present: DayZ Tractor Driving

When we logged on yesterday the tractor was still where I last did the "Save tractor", even though we were on another server. My friend decided to try it out but died immediately when he touched a chainlink fence with the tractor. Delicate stuff those Chernarusian tractors...

Some observations:

No zombies spawned a s long as I was in the tractor. The zombies I plough down either spawned when I exited the tractor or was spawned by another player.

Half a tank of fuel easily is enough to drive across the map.

It's a bit tricky to get the "refuel tractor" option. I had to dance around the tractor a while before it showed up.

I needed to climb up on top of the big fuel tanks to refill the jerry can.

I got no kills for zombies I ran over.

Does anyone know the equipment storage capacity of the tractor?
