just for clarification. the V8 is not fuel pump, starter or anything else, it is geared into the drive shaft of the 2x V12, so it aids in pulling. you can hear it start about 15-30 yards down the range, that's to not just spin the wheels, they use the 2x diesels to start, and then adds the power from the V8 on top. I have seen this monster myself several times, and while the power from it, might not compete with 5x V8's the combination is really unique, no one can argue about that :)
its genious because the deisel and methanol egines have very duffeent torque curves so basically the two diesels get it going and as the max out on rpms by then the gas engine can easily double the rpm and tirespeed without much effort. thats why it wakes gets violently fast at the part of the track where most run out of momentum.
It took me a little to figure out what was happening with this machine. At first I thought the v-8 on the front was for something running the two big diesels. No, the alky v-8 output is connect straight to the driveline and has it's own throttle lever. It looks as though he uses the big diesels torque to get the sled moving then when he sees he is pulling straight. Then cracks the v-8 throttle for extra tire speed.
He backed out of that last one and still got a full pull. I thought the hemi was driving one monstrosity of a fuel pump for the diesels, but no, the hemi lights up long after the diesels are at full power. Looks like its used for an extra handful (and by that I mean 1500+hp) of horsepower when he needs it
I've never, I mean NEVER seen a modified tractor powered by diesel and methanol. So incredible and extremely unique! No wonder it's the powerful tractor in Denmark, I bet it'll be an upcoming champion if that modified tractor joins the unlimited class of the Pro Pulling League class. To me, I think that machine could be the next upcoming champion in the unlimited class.
Its not just the nature of the diesel reciprocating engine help on how it produce power but also the heaviness of this help to the tractor to grip more
To back this up with indisputable hard facts. Human activity only produces 3% of the total Co2 AT MOST based off of the IPCC's own figures. While Co2 comprises only 0.04% (it's a trace gas) of the atmosphere and 4% of "greenhouse gases".
Just a simple understanding of fuel consumption and cubic meters of air moved would tend to suggest that this is well in excess of 4,000 hp. There's a lot going on with this one. Looks like a nitrous injection boost creation hard start with the diesels, and once they need the wheel speed, the hemi really comes on strong. Shame to hear it's losing the diesels; this thing was an epic beast at full boost. I think some good waste gates and methanol fuel for indoor events would have provided the mechanical longevity and the usability that look lacking in this design. The motor clearly was overboosted, as the overtaxed cooling system and the head gaskets bore witness, but could have been civilised with the right parts. I think the whole thing is one upgrade overhaul away from being an art arfons style superhero in the internet age
@@herbscheit2061 there were no waste gates so as the boost levels rose the engine saw insane pressures. Those pressures were too much for the engine to handle run after run. If they had used simple safety devices there is no reason those engines couldn't have run much more reliably.
I love it, the way he slung that humiliator down the chute! Nothing to it @3:45. lol. Just a Beast! I see he has a V-8 engine up front and it appears to be running on gas, I'd like to know more about this particular set-up. Great video, great tractor. Thanks for sharing.

@@Dave5843-d9m alot of diesel guys do use water injection to cool and up compression a little bit, also they use nitrous to help burn fuel at low rpm before the boost builds
@@Dave5843-d9m There is also the issue of air, to burn the diesel, methanol, requires a fraction of the oxygen that diesel and petrol does, and thus you can burn way more of it. adding up to a greater total power.
Diesel was make in 1936 for aviations (heavy bomber). But 500hp was not enougt for flying. Engine goes to T-34, KV-1 with different power. Use in this days for T-90, marines and trucks. Power from 300 to 1300hp and multi fuel. Time machine.
We all wish it could, but the HEMI guys are in enough numbers to control the rules, the 4500kg class was disbanded, and this tractor was dismantled. Now is a 4 Hemi machine called Beautiful Noise.

@@georgealmeida7382 Please think again!!! george, he is talking about loosing pressure before it reaches the Turbo. You need this pressure to get the turbo spinning
@@chef767 No, you need temperature. Turbos run from heat, not pressure. But you are right in that the leaks lead to a temperature loose, and power loose.
Very interesting and impressive rig, never seen a diesel/methanol tractor before. I would like to see some schematics about how the power is transferred. I gather the 2 diesel blocks power one wheel each, but how does the keith black kick in?
I am not an expert on this kind of stuff, so please don't mind if I use some wrong terms. The speaker talks about, that the V12's and the HEMI run at two different RPM. So after the HEMI, there is some kind of gear box, that that makes the RPM from the HEMI the same as the V12's ;-)
Yes the V8 is to resupply the RPM's to the V12's. V12's have more torque then V8's, but lose RPM's the heavy the sled gets, so the V8 helps compensate it. Truly a unique and awesome design. Out of curiosity, is this guy pulling still? Was he blacklisted? I mean I saw this pulling on Johannes Meuleners channel last year, but not at any of the events so far this year. Heck, there's been hardly any 3.5t or 4.5t pullers that's he's taped. Even Green Warrior (3 engine) hardly there and not even seen Whispering Giant, Green Spirit IV, nor Llambada! Though seen Wicked Screamer (Llambada's 2nd tractor). And guys, these modified's could probably beat up on US tractors. GW (3), Green Spirit IV (2 griffons), Whispering Giant, Llambada, Wicked Screamer.. those tractors are super powerful.
Awe that's too bad :( I thought the Tan-Smash V12's were a great fit to the tractor. Perhaps they couldn't take the abuse? If there is a specific websight to this guy I'd love to read about it. Though I think it would of been cooler to use Griffon engines instead.
three engines !!One v8 petrol and supercgarged and two diesels v12. Diesels for torque,and petrol for gain speed. 1000hp for petrol engine and the rest,diesels.
Unfortunatly will not happen. Tractor was dismantled in 2017. Hemi guys got control over rules. 4500kg class disbanded. Leif had to switch to Hemis, needless to say, he is still dominating.
2 Transmash V12 Diesels, 4 Massive Holset turbos, a 526 Keith Black Hemi on a twist throttle atop the diesel throttle. Sad that this guy had to dismantle the tractor, Hemi guys did away with his class.
Those sleds don't look quite as large as the ones we have in the US. I wonder what they weigh over there? I'd like to see that team come to the US and run with our guys...that would be pretty sweet to see!
Kyle M I'd like to see it run in the U.S. or anywhere really. For one reason in particular. Because it may be the most powerful tractor I have ever seen!
hmmm hvor er det lige en traktor kommer ind i billedet i den kategori/Klasse?? pga baghjulene.. (ville godt se den trække en F.eks Plov, høbinder eller ja)
The wheel Speed is the key. The KB Hemi provides an Extra 2500HP and about 2000lb/ft of torque ontop of the already 2000Hp and 3000lb/ft of torque(X2)in the V-12's
holy shit. it looks like he's using a blown alcohol Hemi as a pony motor to get those monster diesels fired off. thats some next level shit right there...OMG !!!
03:39 Denmark at United Nations Conference on the Human Environment: "We have wind turbines for clean energy that u can see just behinnd the black smoke "
As much as I like how the typical high torque/low rpm car/truck drives (more of an effortless feel), power is what makes the vehicle move. Take two identical vehicles but one has a 400hp/380lb tq gas engine and one has a 400hp/900lb tq diesel in it. Otherwise identical except for the proper gearing for each engines powerband. Race them in the 1/4 and they tie. The additional 520lbs of torque does nothing to get the diesel across the line quicker or off the start quicker. It's about power and nothing else. I admit both vehicles are goIng to feel drastically different. So why do we buy diesels, especially for heavy vehicles, or towing (high loads)? Because you can infer from that massive torque figure that occurs at a low rpm that you're going to make a lot of POWER at a low rpm (look up the well known calculator). 400hp is 400hp. The difference is the diesel might be able to access MOST of its peak 400hp rating at a low 2,500rpm and maybe lower. The gas engine will likely have to be north of 6,000rpm to reach its peak 400hp rating. Even with identical power, towing a heavy trailer up a hill, would you rather be sitting at 2,000 - 2,500rpm for hours on end or 6,000+rpm for hours on end? What would happen to fuel economy with one vehicle in top gear while one has to downshif a couple years to stay in its powerband and access full power Again, do the math, high torque at low rpm means higher POWER at low rpm. It is a way to describe the powerband. My Grand National made 620lns of torque at a low 2,800rpm. It probably would have made the same torque lower on the tach but I couldn't start the dyno lower due to converter stall speed. I love low end torque but power and power alone moves the car.
The diesel will probably be able to give a continuous 400 HP. Quarter miles aren't impressive. Towing is. Yeah a hellcat or Camaro can make 600 HP, but for how long? That's a difference in car/pickup and tractor/semi truck power ratings. The car can make 600 HP for a few minutes while the tractor or truck can produce it's power inevitably. Just my 2 cents
3500-400BHP?!?!?!?... Who are they kidding.... That Blown Hemi on Methanol alone should put almost that down alone, if not more depending on the build, displacement and of course boost .
If a boiler can run on pulverized coal. Its posible to ignite the black fumes of the exhaust? A Spark plug or some post combustion system on the edge of the exhaust pipe. it would be great to see a big flames instead of rolling coal.
No way in hell this is the most powerful. Most interesting yes and arguably most popular. But not most powerful. But it is very well engineered and works very well so can live without the extra power.
What? A tractor pulling video that opens with action rather than five minutes of setup? This is amazing!
3:35 That beast has so much power he has to back way off throttle and feather it on this run, and it still coasts across the full pull line. AWESOME!
That is quite a machine.. Thanks for not putting music on all the clips so we can actually hear that beast roar.
Amen to that!
Yes!
I smell what you're stepping in. The engines _ARE_ music to my ears.
G
Not many machines that can routinely coast across the full pull line. Impressive!
Been going to pulls all my life, NEVER seen anybody coast over the full pull line!!!!
The Black Hemi is like a giant shot of Nitrous for
the V-12'S
There’s an art to how this machine moves massive loads. It’s the perfect blend of power and precision.
just for clarification. the V8 is not fuel pump, starter or anything else, it is geared into the drive shaft of the 2x V12, so it aids in pulling. you can hear it start about 15-30 yards down the range, that's to not just spin the wheels, they use the 2x diesels to start, and then adds the power from the V8 on top.
I have seen this monster myself several times, and while the power from it, might not compete with 5x V8's the combination is really unique, no one can argue about that :)
If the V8 was the fuel pump,I THINK IT WILL BLOW THE INJECTOR
I think it would compete with the gassers
Whatever the setup obviously it works, sit back and enjoy the show instead of trying to figure it out or trash it!
its genious because the deisel and methanol egines have very duffeent torque curves so basically the two diesels get it going and as the max out on rpms by then the gas engine can easily double the rpm and tirespeed without much effort. thats why it wakes gets violently fast at the part of the track where most run out of momentum.
Love those 2 V-12z but when he nails that hemi, that's just AWESOME 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

100%
I thought that perhaps the v8 was powering a turbine to compress the air going into the larger engines.
That is just nuts, the only announcement I could understand was FULL PULL! Great Stuff.
He backed out of that last one and still got a full pull. I thought the hemi was driving one monstrosity of a fuel pump for the diesels, but no, the hemi lights up long after the diesels are at full power.

Reflex Photography NZ my thoughts is the little blown alky motor is just for nose weight lol I don't see any weights hanging off the nose

Nah the hemi is just for sound effects
Awesome! Love the amount of smoke being pumped into the air it’s great to see! Who cares if it pollutes the air I like it! 🖤

This beautiful pulling machine of justice needs to come to the US and show all these modified tractors how to pull

That's a difference in car/pickup and tractor/semi truck power ratings. The car can make 600 HP for a few minutes while the tractor or truck can produce it's power inevitably.
Just my 2 cents
think the HP numbers are a bit off lol stock the V12 make 700hp. Betting that tractor is putting out north of 6000hp
i got chills.
nice design and engineering....but only 4000HP?
I saw a tractor with 11.000 horsepower.
yet it would still loose to a steam traction engine with only 110hp and 4000ft/lbs of torque at around 200-300 rpm
And it would probably still lose to a regular road-hauling tractor trailer.
dam that thing is a beast.
Gotta be a trip riding on the sled when the ponies are let loose!
What a beast
the tractor starts with the huge diesel,,but to win power,,,then he runs the gasoline(or methanol?) engine starts too
4 V12 diesel and a 10,000 HP top fuel dragster engine...... Damn
3500-400BHP?!?!?!?... Who are they kidding.... That Blown Hemi on Methanol alone should put almost that down alone, if not more depending on the build, displacement and of course boost .
undefeated tractor.....increible
The Industrial Revolution on wheels.
If a boiler can run on pulverized coal. Its posible to ignite the black fumes of the exhaust?
A Spark plug or some post combustion system on the edge of the exhaust pipe.
it would be great to see a big flames instead of rolling coal.
That's carbon soot, light it off and you'll create CO2, carbon dioxide, greenhouse gas to the hippies.
No way in hell this is the most powerful. Most interesting yes and arguably most popular. But not most powerful. But it is very well engineered and works very well so can live without the extra power.
