- 7200 lb. Modified class.
Note: the tape ran out before the pull-offs; the NTPA site said that Tim Engler went on to win the class.
Rest in peace Art Arfons. Such a legendary guy
I miss commentators like Steve Evans and Brock Yates. Such a good team. This is some amazing quality footage too! Thanks for sharing!
This is a really popular video; when I first posted it as an experiment I wasn't sure it would stay up. I have always hoped that the participants and their families have enjoyed it. BTW, that looks like Rockford's Firebird. And Thank You for the comment.

I am pretty sure this was my first trip to ambassador park. Awesome. Every guy there was as nice as can be. Even talked to a 16 year old kid like family. Hats off to everyone competing here!! Thanks for the memories!!
Thank You for the comment. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video.
I pulled minis with my dad in the 80's and it was sure fun being in the pits talking with Art and everyone else during that time period. Brings back a lot of great memories. Thanks for posting the video.
I had always hoped that the families and friends of the participants in this event would enjoy this video. Thanks for the comment.

I remember watching this on the old TNN about 1986/87.
They always have a good show
Thats my favorite sport is tractor pulling i love tractor pulling
Thanks for the comment.
Oh my god! I never thought I would see this event again! My dad recorded this on VHS for me decades ago when it happened live! I watched it constantly but unfortunately, the show got taped over in the early 90's. I never knew the name of the event so I have just been doing searches on RUclips starting with 1985 tractor pulls and just happened to find this upload! Thank you so much!!!
Me and my dad went to old MSG and saw Art Afron's Green Monster in action in 1985/86ish. I have some photos kicking around the house.
Just so you know, my video from way back in the day also ran out of tape right before the finals. IIRC, my copy ran out when they were down to the final 3. Tim Engler, with Mission Impossible, Milton Bergman with Rambunctious and I forget who the third guy was. The search is still on for a complete copy of this event, but thanks again for giving me a name of the show to go by!
Steve Jaske driving The Blazing Bison was competing in this show and during the first round (after this tape cuts off unfortunately) he took the sled out of bounds and was DQ'D. I don't know if there were any other tractors besides his that were yet to appear before this video runs out.
The NTPA website shows that Tim Engler won the pull-off. If you find the pull-off video upload it and/or put a link in a comment. And Thanks for your comment.
They still have truck and tractor pulls!
Thank you for this video! I loved watching these as a kid, along with anything involving Monster Trucks. Great video, I had never seen this one before. 👍
You're very welcome; glad you enjoyed it. Happy Holidays.
I loved watching this stuff when I was a kid too I still love truck pulling
The good old days
It's still hard for me to realize that this took place 34 years ago. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you all for contributing to my reaching 1000+ subscribers.
Love what you have done
It was an experiment with my camcorder; I ran out of tape before the end of the program. I was a fan of Art Arfons.

Reminds me of Saturday afternoon when I was a teenager.
The composer of the drivers! Pro!... Man I'd be like "ye der daw naw you know yewee" lol
thanks for the upload i love tractor pulling do you got any more great stuff
Good Bye and Good Luck, Alexander Bychkov.
Back again for thanks for the great video upload and keep them coming
Thanks for the comment.
Do any of these vehicles have any cooling systems/radiators?
Like drag racers: No. No radiator, no coolant pump, and in most cases, no coolant. Beyond that, maybe a viewer can provide more info.
Some classes use intercoolers with water/ice
Tim Engler said " I kept hitting the right brake cause it wanted to keep going to the right. Would you not hit the left brake to cause more traction to move it to the left ?
It seemed like he was saying the flexing of the frame was causing the right wheel to lift and rob power from the left wheel which still had enough traction to nudge the rig to the right. Just my guess.
Kind of makes sense. But I've driven a few tractors in my time. Not in tractor pulls. But when I've gotten bogged down and one wheel is stuck. I would apply the brake to that wheel to help me shift the tractor a bit to maybe improve the traction. Thanks for the reply.
I've also experienced similar situations with farm tractors in wet spring ground and snow; I'd venture to say that a four engine 2000 horsepower mechanical draft beast may have some quirks that neither one of us can relate to. Thanks again for the comment.
You are correct @mistertee2010, you would use the left brake. Tim misspoke. I pulled minis in the early 80's. The physics are the same on the tractors you drove, the minis I drove and the modified. Using the left brake slows the left tire and turns the tractor to the left. Just like steering a zero turn lawn mower.
I was 15yo and running the scoreboard for this pull. I sure miss my 2x summer visits to the Fort.
That's a good memory! Thanks for the comment.
Excellent video!
Thanks for the comment.

Great! You have part two of this?
Sorry... as it says in the description I ran out of tape. I recorded this as an experiment with my camcorder. (I had met Art Arfons several years earlier and was interested in his accomplishments.)
Do you remember who won the pull off?
Tim Engler.
Thank you!
No rollbars !!!! That takes big jumbo coconut balls!!!!!!!!
A rollbar requirement usually comes after someone has been killed.
26:35 凄く安定してる
Got the turbo and supercharger asa backwards and shoulda had a hemi from mopar instead of arias which is Chevrolet based
If you say so. I think a friend pointed that out to me before, years ago. Thanks for the comment.
I'm a Hemi fan but pulling was better when there was some variety of power.
18:34 Tell me this guy doesn’t sound identical to Mike Tyson when he speaks! 😳😂
You are saying that Art Arfons sounds like this guy?: ruclips.net/video/KaMb3GqKXb0/видео.html
You're high
All talk.
