We used to have an ex royal mail one in red on the farm I worked at. No tax or MOT, mainly got used for doing powerslides on the wet grass!

We also used to powerslide and J turn tractors. Surprisingly easy to do with independant rear breaks.
Some of the tractors had a hand throttle, a forward and back pedal on the right and independant breaks on the left.
Full speed forwards to full speed backwards in less than a second.

Yeh, there was one John Deere we had that had 300bhp and rear wheels over 6 foot in diameter, good fun for terrorising othe road users!
We also used to take the weights off the front of the tractors, stick a heavy pallet on the back and see how far we could wheelie steering with the rear breaks.
