Watch big mean tractors climb hills, lift dirt, pop wheelies and whatnot. Every once in awhile you might see a Vanna White protege in a hard hat.

Brought to you by those crazy kids at John Deere and agency Tattoo, the Smackdown is a promotional event for John Deere’s 313 Skid Steer. The real thing goes down on April 15 and will be marketed through dealerships and via online video.

Bring your tractor. Bring your balls. And prepare to showcase your manliness in a ferocious game of tractor tug-o’-war.

Research suggests the people society calls “wise” rarely experience it that way from the inside — what feels like wisdom to others often feels like exhaustion to the person carrying it, because knowing how things work doesn’t make them easier, it makes them clearer, and clarity without the power to change anything is its own kind of quiet suffering
