And they get the fire extinguishers at the dollar store. Obviously safety isn't even on the priority list. And let's make the hood impossible to open so the fire can really do it's job.
I like how the drivers wearing helmets and racing suits run from the flaming tractor while two guys in short sleeves run to the fire with little fire extinguishers
I’d say so, I do. It’s really nice to see the ancient tractors do a pull, too. Nice to see the longevity! Always enjoy seeing the occasional Oliver, too, they’re super rare.
@Dennis Young I know nothing about tractor pulling & just got sucked into watching these engine failure video's. I'm just speculating based on what I've read in comments. They use aluminum to the extent possible, which probably explains a lot of the engine failures. So I'd assume weight is pretty critical. I am an engineer & have experience designing industrial facilities for decades so I know something about fire prevention. A "fire suppression" system would have to cover the entire engine/drive train as it looks like the fires don't always originate in the same place, it depends on what fails & where volatile leaking fluid ignites & spreads onto. Halon or "oxygen depleting" gas (Halon is not legal anymore due to ozone issues but has replacement substances) don't work in "exposed" environments, only in "closed in" spaces such as buildings. I guess these tractors/ trucks are semi enclosed but I'd think the pressure tanks needed to carry the gas are pretty heavy. Foam is the proper extinguisher medium for diesel. Powder is more for chemicals. Again, foam needs pressure vessels, in fact multiples since it relies on a mix of materials at point of application. So I'd guess again that weight would be an issue. Again, don't quote me, I'm no expert on tractor pulls, but like I said, I do have experience at industrial engineering / fire prevention & suppression systems, loss prevention, buidling & fire codes.
Aww bless en they get all confused with left and right and the big round thing they are holding Amazed with all that blubber as ballast they get the wheels off the ground
Somebody needs to bring in a 100 HP antique steam tractor and show them how it is done! I have seen one at a local tractor pull and it was quite quiet and hilarious!
@@pizzaplanettruck9761 It shut every gas/diesel tractor down. It had to stop when it reached the end of the course. NONE of the other tractors made it that far!
Based on only ever having watch this single video, there seems to be only rule 1. You can have as much power as you like but you can only use stock cooling capacity. Fun idea!
Cooling is largely a non factor the engines are underload for less than a minute or two. Ive seen 18 wheeler engines, detroits run 10-15 minutes without cooling before they locked up or blew up.
I know in drag racing many organizations make you have a ballistic blanket to contain a turbo explosion but that still doesn’t keep parts from flying out of the exhaust. Most gasoline drag cars aren’t pushing 150-200 psi of boost pressure either. Do you know what the pullers are doing to prevent this?
Most tractors with small tires up front are meant for hay only, and the tiny, angled tires help with sharp turns! It isn’t always the best idea though, since the rear wheels take the show. 🤣
Why do these things always have guys that don't know what they're doing in control of a fire extinguisher? It's like they find the dumbest dude possible and ask if he "ever wanted to be a fireman when he grew up?"
@@cc9z Thanks Donny, at least you took the trouble to reply! Of course I understand, however it does seem that many of the ones with smaller front wheels are a disaster waiting to happen. IMHO only. More power to you.
Most everybody is running with Skids on the Front now. They look like Skis between the Front Tires. A lot of the guys in the Heavier Classes are running with "Airbag" Front Suspensions too.
@@tomcarver1063 Yet there's still so many tractors digging their front ends into the dirt lol I guess "most everybody" are not the people I was talking about. Thanks for the info though, I guess.
Those are tractors on steroids. They think that pulling a plough is for wusses xD I wonder if someone from audience got hurt with all those "shrapnels" flying around.
Why does every engine explosion video look like when in the Roman colosseum the people only gleed when lions had a snacck(thus being declared thhe victors)?
The one guy had an aluminum engine and blew the crank main. So why run an aluminum engine if you cant keep the front end on the ground? You don't need less weight you need more.
Engine rotating mass and efficiency/ power has nothing to do with actual tractor weight requirements. Build up an engine for power and revs; throw weights on the front to keep it down.
Where’s the onboard fire extinguishers like other race classes run. Half these guys running in with fire extinguishers have no idea how to use them. Surely this would save them more work in the long run.
I wouldn't even call some of these spray paint can sized things extinguishers, unless maybe you're trying to extinguish the candles on a 5 year olds birthday cake... And oh yeah, they don't even have proper fire protection gear on either.
I keep telling you guys, you cannot just rely on the Mobil Marble SlickFoam Fifty Full Syn oil alone. You need to use a copper zinc funnel for the proper ion transfer. All of these engine failures could be avoided!
I keep wondering why they mount the rear wheels of their kids' tricycle on those tractors... Hell, they have weights on the front, might as well have some of that weight in the tires and wheels.
Don’t know anything about these competitions, but there might be some rules about weight on the front end, maybe a weight limit and the lighter the the structure and tires are, the bigger engine you can put on it. I’m just guessing really
funnily enough the smaller wheels allow for more control the narrow profile allows them to "bite" in the brief moments the wheels touch the ground. the real problem there is the ball joint they use if you look again the wheels always have the hub still attached.. maybe they should use the Toyota Hilux front end ball joints. can't break those.

Who doesn't love the sound of screaming turbos
When 98% if these are supercharged or n/a supercharged.
1:14 Kudos to that dude who pulled the cable from the distributor.
Quick thinking right there
Another AWESOME job filming! Best luck to all the teams who experienced catastrophic failures too.
You just gotta love the smell of connecting rod pieces and shredded pistons on the ground in the evening, (but only if they are somebody elses)
They big fool person
Отличная подборка мужик!!!!
So nice to see… The drivers in their racing Overalls - and the officials in tshirt and short with the fire extinguisher ...highly professional !!

2:47 best sound ever
I cant believe the lack of safety devices and fire suppression on these monster's! These guys have balls of steel! Stay safe gentlemen
Yes but no
Adrenalin is very fun
Actually there's a difference between balls of steel and little between your ears.
i wish i had cool friends like this.
Very good tractors 🎈
I’m always amazed by the amount of track workers that run/jog like old disabled people
Mommy has dinner ready
The thing I’ve noticed most is that people be consistently destroying my beloved International 1066.
The tractor fails are more exciting than the complete pull. The fans must go for the explosions.
I’d say so, I do. It’s really nice to see the ancient tractors do a pull, too. Nice to see the longevity! Always enjoy seeing the occasional Oliver, too, they’re super rare.
just like Nascar
Things that happen when you spend $100K on the engine and driveline, but $100 on front end suspension components.
Charles Russell This video is Awesome Keep up the great work!
I just love those guys running out there with some dinky-ass extinguisher that wouldn't put out a toasted marshmallow.
Yea I'm honestly surprised that there's no fire truck on stand by lol
The foam / powder damages engines/ equipment so they try to minimize quantity to the extent possible.
@Dennis Young that would add extra weight so no.

you dont know much about firefighting do you ?
Dang. Good stuff. I have never seen them blow their engines. Going to one tomorrow night.
Did you catch the Covid?
Fan: "How many lbs of boost are you running this thing at?"
Driver: "Yes."
Amehdion “all of em”
These are so fun to watch lol
another great video
Aww bless en they get all confused with left and right and the big round thing they are holding
Amazed with all that blubber as ballast they get the wheels off the ground
boy that one at 2:40 in the video sure blew chunks , literally ,Beyond Limit
Fuckin s!!ky high
The sleds from CNY/Southern PA are called The Decision Maker. Cool to see all the different names.
1:50
Front wheels- IGHT IMMA HEAD OUT
Xxxdddd
12:36 henry county fair napoleon ohio. was just there for their pulls last night! awesome lol knew id see one clip from us in there somewhere ;)
An excellent video. ♡ T.E.N.

It also would be great to see a hot bulb tractor like a Lanz Bulldog or Bolinder-Munktell try it
Expensive hobby!
👍's up guys thanks for taking us along with you
3:50, that ol' boy just won himself a concussion.
I feel like most of the fires are caused by redlining still crazy to watch I hope there will be more action next year can’t wait
if in doubt flat out
I've always wondered can these tractors actually farm like pull a plow
The tires are not made for field work but in power wise yes
Ok thats what i thought but i wasnt sure thanks 😊
No problem
“Say wheres the plow?”
“Oh Jim brought his pulling tractor so he’ll be done in... 4 seconds.”
Lol
Based on only ever having watch this single video, there seems to be only rule 1. You can have as much power as you like but you can only use stock cooling capacity. Fun idea!
Looks that way don't it
And standard oil pumps !

I just love that announcer that always goes "Holy macaroni, check it out boys!" 😂
@Joseph Marton ohh you fuckin candy ass smfh
Damn, those smaller ones that look like old Top Fuel dragsters are...adventurous.
A lot of great fails
Those little tractors with massive V8' look scketchy as hell... Who approved that?
It’s not like they’re commuting to work with them…
They build them themselves, no one has to really approve anything
It get me how they keep on the throttle even know their engine is blowing white smoke or on fire. Lmoa😂😂
Just gotta send it!
Amen brother
Awesome video
hola que buen video
Nice video bro
Never seen a Chevy go cross eyed before 😄
If i ever went to a pull id be bored, youtube has me under the impression that every run something breaks or blows up.
Usually the case, OR, people go to see older tractors from the ‘50s and ‘60s pulling a sled. It shows longevity and durability!
BOOM!!!.. huge fireball!!
1:15 the dude wearing the fire suit runs away while the guys in tee shirts run in
Ka.......Boem!!! Lekker sruk⛑
Wonder how fast some of these will go without that ground dragging trailer.
NGL feel bad for the guy but i died when his drive shaft just plopped out so slowly and casually like ight im done LOL
DethroneKing MMA whats that time stamp
Good Old Mayhem. Thanks for filming and putting it together. 👍🏻👌🏻😎
2:30 Are those turbo parts raining down on the metal roof? Good lord man.
Yes, and that is one of the main reasons for some rule changes in the Pro Stock class going forward.

MrCarnutbill67 from the looks of all the debris flying around in all these videos over the years I am guessing they won’t do anything about it!!!!!
My wallet is not allowed to watch such carnage as this but it's a different story with me. 👍👍✌✌

Lets put the smallest tires on the front we can find !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD IDEA
Darren Schneider no bad idea
Yep totally wont kill me!!
It's for more down pull
Most tractors with small tires up front are meant for hay only, and the tiny, angled tires help with sharp turns!
It isn’t always the best idea though, since the rear wheels take the show. 🤣
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Hillbillies: yes I think this is a good idea
Sunshine -ish for some reason this is funny to watch LOL
What creates the green fire? a boron additive?
The back lighting?
Hey Google that was cool
Game over
That ain’t opportunity knocking!
Budget is tight, but a $5 fire extinguisher toy!
Why do these things always have guys that don't know what they're doing in control of a fire extinguisher? It's like they find the dumbest dude possible and ask if he "ever wanted to be a fireman when he grew up?"
Ummm I suppose you do ?
I’d say a good 50% of those catastrophic failures are from the tires leaving the ground. Liquids and all. Not to mention the minis.
Looks like them mini modifieds would have a bar coming off the frame 2 ft on each side behind the front axle to keep them from turning over like that.
NOPE!!! When they start One-Wheeling, a Bar would just be Something Else to Dig in and Make the Flip WORSE!!!
My grandpa was the one announcing in the first clip!
You must be one awesome dude then.
6:02 "I must go my people need me"
How much torque do you need in that tractor??
Yes
All of it and then some
Imagine just minding your own business at a car event then 4:08 BRUH they shootin!
Can anyone explain to me what's happening to the Chevys front wheels at 9:51??
Weak tie rods its common for chevys
I couldnt help but think if they had bigger front tires things like the Cash Crop @1:00 wouldnt happen but hey, what do I know?
More wheels falling off. Good ole American engineering
these tractors are way over specs. and ramped up to the max and nothing will hold this amount of power
@@cc9z Thanks Donny, at least you took the trouble to reply! Of course I understand, however it does seem that many of the ones with smaller front wheels are a disaster waiting to happen. IMHO only. More power to you.
The small wheels are more for show
These are million dollar toys
247th! AND PROUD OF IT!
What is it about tractorpullers that do not know that you HAVE TO HAVE suspension at the front axle!!
It's interesting how few pullers make some sort of setup to help prevent the front end digging in should a tire come off or something else happen.

I keep telling you guys, you cannot just rely on the Mobil Marble SlickFoam Fifty Full Syn oil alone. You need to use a copper zinc funnel for the proper ion transfer. All of these engine failures could be avoided!
You would think if the front end is a major point of failure, they would do something better.

Yea those tractors with no front suspension and wheelbarrow wheels is fuckin dumb and dangerous.
The front end being lower to the ground helps with weight transfer to the back wheels
funnily enough the smaller wheels allow for more control the narrow profile allows them to "bite" in the brief moments the wheels touch the ground. the real problem there is the ball joint they use if you look again the wheels always have the hub still attached.. maybe they should use the Toyota Hilux front end ball joints. can't break those.
