This is the first time I've noticed the audience taking their fingers out of their ears after a supercharged run. Turbine no, Allison no; blown V8's must make a special noise that causes pain.
They do. I witnessed an indoor tractor pull in Ft. Worth sometime in the mid '80s and the sound was devastating. It would rattle right through a person's body like an internal earth quake, v8s were the worst. Holding your ears was a must, even the farm tractors were deafening.
8:58 Can someone please explain if a whole separate engine - vs just a straight 8 Cylinder is more competitive reason to double up? someone might be able to tell me some pros and cons these more wild multi engines vs just one perfectly tuned Turbo Charged engine in this pulling race. Great Vid btw.
So if the test puller stops before 75 or 100 feet whatever it is and backs up and pulls again does he still have the option of turning that pull down and coming back again?
That is correct. Every puller in the class has 2 attempts IF they make an honest attempt to shut down by the 100' mark. Only the 1st puller of the class or 1st puller after a sled reset has the option to drop and come right back, drop 6 spots or come back last hook in the class.
I was actually really curious about this question. I couldn't find any scientific data on the drag coefficient of any kind of farm tractor, so I used the coefficient of a semi with trailer and added .4 to it (pretty rough estimate but on the upper end of an estimate, this is a very high drag coefficient). I used a rough area of 6M^2 for the frontal area of the tractor, and calculated that the tractor would need ~9700 hp to overcome 250mph. This doesn't include any kind of gearing to get it to that speed, but it's very reasonable to imagine one getting to 200mph +
I actually get a lot of good feedback for having it so folks know who is leading. May redesign it in the near future to be less intrusive. Working with a new program and computer so it was something to use fast to get the videos going
Yes they do, but until they build electric motors that are larger that a 55 gallon drum, using the best rare earth magnets and creating giant batteries with 3 phase inverters, you are not going to see an electric tractor with this much torque - (i have seen electric motors that big in factories running monster injection molding presses and 5 ton grinding wheels - i spent 15 years in robotics and automation - i suppose we could run them on giant coiled extension chords - grin )
Don't you just love the sound of blower belt whine in the morning!! Lol.
Love the radial motor so bad ass
Griffons and Radials, that's the way to go...💪
B.t.w., Nice, steady run by the turbine tractor.. 👍👍
Can't beat a blown engine with straight pipes.

Only two full pulls? My god, tractor pulling has really fallen off.
Love it 😍👍

Does Sharon have a Dashcam to see around that breathers. 😁
LOL
No, her husband forgot to put in a dashcam.
Nice sound , love it love it ,keep up the pro vlogs , thanks BigAl California.
Thanks Al!

Has anyone ever thought of how fast these tractors would go without the sled behind it?
Noel Paquin wheel speed is around 150 miles per hour.

Ever thought how fast a parachutist would be without the parachute? Jeez
The gearing is too low for speed
At first I just figured the dude in the blue shirt was gonna pull the tractor and the sled! 😂😂
1:38 crrruunch into rewind we go.

Sharon everman must be a Peterbuilt driver.
Dave's got two Allison engines on his tractor and that's why he calls it Double Vision.
Double wasp radial?
Some kind of a 2-row radial. I lost count of the exhaust pipes. Whether a 14 or an 18, I don't know.
The v8 powered are getting a bit boring prefur other engines types
Love the sound of those Allison's.
En la carrera tractores modificado ,llantas acero gruesas ,y a las cubiertas rellenarlas con lo q se usa en camiones blindados agua y creo silicona
Sweden diesel fastest I have ever seen....kick the hell out of these gassers...any day!
Sharon everman literally cannot see around her giagantic air cleaner 2:45
I thought she'd drive her tractor by leaning to one side ala Ace Ventura
Sharon could've turned the blower hat the other way that way it didn't block her vision.
где Гретта Тумберг ?
What are the rules to this ?
Сколько сил в одной такой штуке?
Maybe leave the leaderbord out next video's😋

I unplugged my ears. I wanted that monster
Is it weird that i wanna see one of these with a wheelie bar going down the drag strip?
Electric motors have more torque.
Dogs have tails

Only at ZERO RPM.
Oh god yea, just imagine in the future this sport goes electric!
😱😢🤔👎
Uieiikuu
Wat a waste of resources
Yes, you are.
