Ok great content.. Great thick mud Lot of questions about tires turned backwards With only one good answer below. My experience says once tractor tires lose traction They immediately begin digging down Fast Causing dreaded frame up Or buried to the frame. Read the long comment by the smart guy below.
I cant speak for everybody doing it, but I have been doing it for a long time on my wheeling rig. They steer a bit better turned "backwards", but more importantly, when spun in a recreational manner(as opposed to putzing along at "tractor" type speed), they act somewhat like a paddle tire- the angle of the lugs pulls the mud to the center of tire and climb it or eject it out the back. Works for environments other than mud too. Backwards lugs help keep the tire centered up on rocks/logs/etc.
I got a couple buddies that have been trying to talk into doing this on a tractor it's supposed to dig on dry dirt. But in theory when you're driving through bottomless slop you need substance to pull to the center of the tire for it to get grip
At low speed I dont think direction really matters at all for them, having driven thousands of hours in tractors in my time lol. At high rotational speed and with light ground contact reverse direction do seem to be better for off-road use though. Tractors are typically very heavy versus off-road rigs and operate with as little slippage as possible.
@@hessxpress3016once it gets moving, it’s fine which kinda makes me think that the trans is slipping and roasting itself, the torque converter is going out or the trans is low on fluid. Either way it didn’t do terrible
Talking about some thick ass mud!!!!
Ooooo! That song....................
Big tires, power and lockers apply here. Lol
Now that’s what I call a bounty hole, nice deep thick mud and water.
It was a good one

Big tires with the power to turn them is key
Good show. Please STOP to crappy music. HP is what people want to hear.
The crappy music is hiding how bad the wind noise is. Trust me the crappy music sounds 100 times better than how bad the wind noise was
Did they allow running starts after awhile, since thats the only chance they had?
Yes but I believe their time started before they backed up
all but like 2 trucks were just lugging bad and transmissions hating life lol
Why are a lot of the directional tread tires on backwards? I don’t understand, is there a reason?
I honestly don’t know I’ve wondered that myself

I’d say ya boys need some more hp and gearing 👍🏼
That first chevy’s torque converter is just hating life
def has a power transfer problem. thought the same thing

That bounty hole was a mile long??
Yeah it has some distance to it
No way that was a mile. Not even a half mile.
D is right tires on backwards
If the tires pull better put on backwards, why don't farm tractors run them that way?
The tires act as a clutch .If you turned them around it would start hopping and wreck everything
3 wheel peel don't get it. Big tires, a 1500 hp monster truck engine, this hole would get roasted
