Definetly my favorite motorsport, better than anything else i know of. Anyone that knows anything about motor performance, those tractors are making 200+psi of boost from 4 turbochargers. 2,000+hp. If anyone gets a chance to go to one, go!
I've looked at his videos and other many's of time and looks like to me the box did not start moving until about 75 feet. Just curious what other opinions are on this.
HOLY CRAP!!! The last one was a TRIPLE ALLISON!! That means 3 V12 WWII P51 Mustang motors!! That's a 3 big chunks of cash sitting on that thing....whew
@youngdones Nope most all run alcohol which burns cooler the gasonline. The engines are normally good for one pull and a pull off. anything more they start getting to hot.
Those tractors have all kinds of awesome power. I wonder though, if you were to put one of those motors on a rail car on the dragstrip, if they'd do 300+ mph? What i'm trying to say is, wonder if those motors on those tractors are capable of 300 mph? Anyone know? That one tractor that flipped, i think it had too much power for that smaller size pulling tractor.
that was cool. was that one guy using 6 motors! i thought that using multiple motors would slow the other s down because they would not be able to time them exsactly the same causing them to work against eachother
I’m 12 years late, and the setups can differ from tractor to tractor, but they use cross boxes which feed to the central shaft to the rear. A company called “SDS” manufactures these for a pretty penny. Each engine has its own clutch today. Back in the 80’s and 90’s a lot of engines ran crank to crank which was problematic.
@VentoDriver I see we agree totally, all be it for different reasoning, it's all good. I totally get what your saying. I'm an all Toyota person myself. BMW E30 and E36 3 series models have always sparked interest too. Plenty of good cars out there, it's just that I live right next to the main drag that "cruise" nights are held on and there is some wack cars being called "imports" when clearly they are an abomination to the automotive industry.
@VentoDriver Exactly my point bro, do you think of a hard tuned supra when you think "import"? Not me, I think of honda/acura with pep boys wings and fart can mufflers welded to factory systems. BTW, I know why the engines are american, it would indeed be stupid to build 1UZ or 2UZ Toyota V8's to do this sort of thing when it's full well and capable with an affordable and easy to source american engine. That seems to be a no brainer.
@toctuning yes we do! true, sadly there is to many of them...they make us look all like stupid crazy driving that don't give shit about others on the road...we all pay the price
@toctuning @toctuning It isn't because imports don't have power... Loving german cars, when I think of imports I think of european and nice jdm cars. Hondas/acuras with pep boys, wings and fart can mufflers are not what I think when I think of imports, cause those are just ricers or kids too often at wall-mart... I pray for them lol
@toctuning lol like if alll the imports where hondas....and the reason why those engines are all american is because it would be stupid to search for more exmpensivwe toyota or nissan v8 when there is millions of american v8 around north america

Great vid!
The guy that had the first crash, if i recall, he had some other tractors and crashed 1 of the smaller tractors he had as well.
sure enough, i was at this pull last year, it was really good.
that looks like that guy had fun lol i have never seen a tractor do that before
@xaty21 muy amable tu comentario.Muchas Gracias

And That's Why They Have Roll Cages!
You have to love MINIS grab a hand full and HOLD ON
You couldnt pay me to ride in the sled for the unlimited class. Those are some bad ass machines though
Is the crowd a little too close to the track? I usually watch these events in stadiums, and we sit way back from the action.
@youngdones Nope most all run alcohol which burns cooler the gasonline. The engines are normally good for one pull and a pull off. anything more they start getting to hot.
why is the sled so close to the tires?

where is the smoke from the engines?
How do they transfer the power from multiple engines into one drive shaft?

!!!!! "woo"!!!!! thats great!!!!
That tractor had a seizure, and just think back in the 80's they didn't have roll cages.
the smoke comes only from the diesels and not from the the RR griffones or some other kind of engines
Yay and it would be the ones I dont watch at Chapel Hill.... I skip the Diesel tractors and the Mini Mods and watch the rest
lol at 1:34 the guy that stands up for 1 second and yells woo
1:31.. LIKE A TOY!
the smoke from the diesel engines
im from chapel hill :)
It is a good thing that the sled had a kill switch which kills the engine if the tractor gets loose!
Glad it stayed hooked to the sled otherwise it would have taken out half the crowd.
when you put wheelbarrow tires on a high hp vehicle

No shit.
Oh my god!! A very big crash!!

@gogooaklyn 6, and the last looked liek 3 fuckin V12's... talk about power...
@xaty21 pero vos no sabes cuanto te pagan por hacer esos 50 metros y llegar ehh.
Stupid Honda guys thing they have power, then why don't we see imports engines strapped to these things?
@toctuning lol like if alll the imports where hondas....and the reason why those engines are all american is because it would be stupid to search for more exmpensivwe toyota or nissan v8 when there is millions of american v8 around north america
some of these tractors look like they were made by Mexicans who actually have money...
haha
