I've driven one for spraying a bean field and it was absolutely insane. Not a horribly comfortable ride, but when it came to crossing the ditch to get back onto the road, no need to use the bridge.

I don't think so, IIRC top speed is like 30mph with a tail wind, but they will go ANYWHERE... I knew a guy who had one, he was in love with it (this was in the hills of VT to) and IDK if they make them anymore... so it's kinda a niche
