The engineering that goes into these machines is amazing. Unlike anything in motorsport, the closest might be drag racing. The owners have so much creativity when it comes to type of engine, and way it's setup. Only engine I haven't seen in tractor pulling is the 28 Cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major radial engine. The most powerful radial engine ever put into service.
Its an 17 L Mercedes V10 original putting out 320 HP, as a Diesel in the video its makes around 3000+. Its should have been the strongest diesel puller in europe at that time. The have change to methanol in 2019, to try to be more competitive, as nearly all others in the class are using methanol. They are about 6,5 bar turbo pressur, 4700 Rpm and 4000+ HP. Finn the driver was celebrateing his 75 years birthday last year, they have been pulling for about 40 years :-)

I remember going to tractor pulling events with my father when I was 10-12 years old. Those unlimited class are absolute beasts!
2 transmash tank engines and a Black hemi on that first tractor! love that tractor! from 🇺🇸
6:18 Whatever single V-10 engine that was in this thing packs a PUNCH, and was beltin out some POWER.
Impressive... 👌
It now runs on alcohol and it broke big time. How to turn a V10 into two inline fives,and one of those is on the floor......

@@BinoDK Nice! Thanks for the info...
🍻
@@BinoDK Did this engine begin life as a stock tractor engine, or was it something like a marine engine or whatever else?
@@davelowets Seach for dingo tractorpulling, and you find more videos.
These are all awesome! One day I will get over there and see them in person!
That first tractor at the start of the video is my favorite.
Vraag me af of er nog oude pullers over zijn ,jaren 70,80,90.
Mooi om die weer in actie te kunnen zien,
👍 Gearhead...the universal language...
Oh man. Slædehunden is just such a beast. Probably a good thing they changed the rules, though.
Yeah it's amazing. What rules did they change?
@@Khemore They changed the weight limit from 4.5t to 4.2t
I can not imagine the amount of stress on those headbolts
wow. I just realized this isn't in english....man, I am High. Good footage tho! Great quality
11:23 the Massey is legendary
1:55 This guy's front left tire must last a LONG time.... 😕
legends say that this is still his first tire
Showing one pole is all that's necessary stop for the waste of time

Bomen hebben co2 nodig.
calling this contraption a tractor is an insult to tractors .
