I live in santa rosa cal, and back in the 80′s and maybe early 90′s the truck/tractor pulls and mud bogs would be held at the sonoma county fair grounds, but not any more. the sorry ass wine drinking horse race watching liberals dont like the track being disturbed and cant stand the beautiful screaming engines

i would like a road legal 1

why do they stop near the end? how does it get heavier? sorry have no idea about tractor pulling!

rich17279, the weights move as the tractor pulls it, they get closer to the rear end of the tractor. if you watch closely you can see the weight moving. watch at 6:10, you can clearly see it

well as you can see the tractor has does plowers in front so when u go fast/farther it picks up more dirt and causeing it to me heavier and also the car looses grip

Lame. Just take a battle tank and you will pull it to the end of the world.

Amazing video!

Man, Those turbo charged 2WD’s are TOO quiet. Throw a big fucking super charger on em. Ur set to go pulling. Anyone know the Average Cubic Inch for the Modern 2WD Pulling Truck?

There is a weight box that moves forward on the sled. As they weight moves forward, it is transferred from adding weight to the rear wheels of the sled, to adding weight to the front “skid plate” on the sled. Thus, the vehicle goes from pulling a rolling weight, to dragging the same weight along (i.e. no longer rolling).  This makes it increasingly more difficult as the weight moves forward…thus why they slow at the end.

No, an Oshkosh HET would be able to pull till the end of the world, and back again.

Do you really think an Oshkosh can pull harder than a tank? Man, you don’t know the difference between a wheel driven vehicle and a track driven vehicle like a tank. Nothing comes close to the traction of a tank, not even a caterpilar, just compare the weights!

I do, in fact. That’s what they’re made for, hauling enormously heavy machines. Hence the name, ” HEAVY EQUIPMENT TRANSPORT.”

You must be kidding. The tank has not only a better traction because of it has track instead of wheelb but the tank has also much more power. One tank like an Abrams M1 can pull easily half a dozens of your Oshkoshs on a sandy track like shown on this video.

Let’s just agree to disagree then, shall we? Kudos to you for supporting your argument in a gentlemanly fashion. Good day sir.

Well, after a friend gave me a hint I must admit that there is indeed a wheel driven vehicle that can pull even harder than a tank, it is the Liebherr T 282B that has 3650 hp and weights 203 tons (empty!) and 592 tons full loaded. You see, these are the dimensions if you want to beat a tank, not a “toy” like an Oshkosh.

BTW: Here you see a tank pulling. Of course a full pull: watch?v=8JGHfqNeKKU

I always enjoy a good redneck garden party!
Sit back with your woman and a six pack and watch the good ole boys mow the lawn….

ok, if my tractor ever ended up on its side, id have to find a new hobby.

and idt the jet engines are entertaining at all… and youd need like a aviations major in order to pull them it seems…

and lmao, the tractor came, apart from the sled.

and where the hell is this tank your talking about…??

@xt660r the 3650hp one is the cummins QSK78 V-18 but there is another with a 90 litre V-20 with only 3500hp wtf is goin there

@Ziofbv lmao sorry had to laugh at wat you put

Great video thanks for posting it .

this is the organization me and my dad used to pull with

These are specifically designed to pull dead weight. If the rules Hot Rod puts on hitch location and hight would allow for the 65 ton Abrams weight to be used as a downforce the only thing stopping these from dragging a tank would be tire size and load capacity. Tire limits are in the rules or they would have full pulls with the sled and a tank attached to it. Change the rules to accomodate a tank and tires will beat tracks. Now the issue’s horsepower, 5 Rodecks vs. 1 turbine..you do the math.

OTTPA (Outlaw Truck and Tractor Pulling) and NTPA (National Tractor Pulling Association) used to govern these events but Hot Rod bought them out. My Uncle designed and builds one of the most sought after frames being used by the mini-modified class. My Aunt placed 1st in the tri-state area 3 years in a row, the only female ever to accomplish that. She drove two tractors designed and built by my Uncle, one named Foolish Pleasure and the other named Performance Plus. Began about 1968 w/V6 Buick.

i love it ?
