It does look funny but i suppose that with it already turned when the front comes down it will grab and turn the vehicle the way they want it. I could be wrong.
I agree cause if you are straight when you go up you will be straight when you come back down....... unless you turn the steering wheel when you are in the air 😂
As others have mentioned its for when the front end does come down even if its only for a moment. it will result in some turning which is better than having to use the brakes to turn and lose momentum. Every little bit helps.
It worries me just how universally useless the officials are when it comes to dealing with fires. No way should a driver have time to get out, get their own extinguisher, and put the fire out themselves.
@@seanalexander367so what do you have in your brain if you stand next to a fire and do f**in nothing although you have got a special Training for those moments???
I was just thinking the same. Literally said: "Geez, till the track crew has a fire extinguisher ready the tractor is completely burned down." and then the driver pulled out his own fire extinguisher and i was like: "Heh, if you want something to be done right..."
That one Karen that's runs out there when her hubby dumps a tractor in its side...like he's gonna get hurt and like she's gonna flip tractor back over with her wittle fingers😅
Why is she a Karen? What did she do besides run out to see for herself if he was okay? Did she tell everyone what to do or cus anyone out? Maybe you don't have anyone that cares about you?
These events only need to have the TRAINED emergency personnel on the track when these vehicles blow up not a bunch of want to be fireman. I’ve been to 3 tractor pull events where the untrained idiots got burned and ended up being the one rushed to the hospital. Get it together event organizers make sure to put money in the pot for a few TRAINED emergency personnel.
This guy is doing all the work himself,, pulling the side panels off of his international and all that the official official is just standing there 7:23 watching the fire and basically roasting marshmallows
if you're a genius, you'd know a regular dry-chem extinguisher isn't the best when dealing with automotive fires, either oil, fuel, or methonal or otherwise, with an extinguisher you also run the risk of just spraying the flaming shit all over the place. Sometimes a dry chem can work. Also, those big silver canisters that are sometimes seen dragged over to a wrecked rig that might catch fire IS THE EXTINGUISHER. It takes a genius to use more than his eyeballs, huh? Helps to use the stuff behind them (your brain) too, y'know?
6:33 These tractors really need better head protection. Perhaps they should mandate halo seats and even HANS devices. I've seen numerous guys get their bell rung really bad due to their helmets smacking off the cages
Everyone is trying to steer using the wheel while their front tires are 4 feet off the ground. And it ruins everything when they come back down... You got to either use differential breaks for the rears or just pray it stays straight.
1:23 crazy how like 6 people are just panicking screaming and running around, the drivers have 5 point harnesses, helmets and a roll cage, shut the tractor off, ensure there’s no fire, get the driver out safely and move forward. All the personnel should be trained dealing with problems like these as they happen and will continue to happen as long as people are pulling tractors.
A lot of these clips you can tell the have way way way to much air pressure in their tires tires should flex and grab instead of bounce getting off the line
People complain that they are not ready.. Well this is a compilation. It is not that common to get fires in these events. I have been in them for years, many times, never seen a fire. Believe me its rare, so thats why they are not ext. in hand ALL the time ready to rock. They do other stuff, IF fire is lose then -who ever- takes one and try.. Sure, it would be good if it would be handled better but..
From what I've seen here I'm thinking tractor pulls have had their time n the sun. Very few people in the stands and the' safety crews' were pathetic..
It’s not just the lack of safety equipment on hand at these events… it’s the udder stupidity of the spectators that are sitting on those sidelines and when one of the trucks or tractors get plowed sideways and are coming straight towards them they don’t even attempt to think of getting ready to get out of the way.
Everyone commenting on the officals and reactions to fire. 1 realize in most cases these are people volunteering their time not professionals. In some cases these people may only do a couple pulls a year. Also they dont see that many fires. Yes they happen but many pulls have zero fires. So yes being volunteers when a fire happens they are sometimes caught a little off gaurd. Overall for most part they do fine. Im yet to hear of anyones vehicle burning to the ground
@TheBandit7613 I think you're missing my point its not really as bad as these videos make it seem. Yes mistakes are sometimes made. But overall they do a pretty good job
I've never understood it either. You have 2000lbs of engine slamming down to the ground, which really ends up being like 5000lbs for a split second depending on the speed the front end comes down. All expected to be handled spindles that look like they came off a garden tractor... Some guys have smartened up and started using bigger wheels and made dual A-arm setups that use airbags. You would think after all these years of wheels breaking off and front ends digging in and flipping tractors that those little spindle mounted wheels wouldn't even be a thing anymore.
Because 99.% of the time it works out. You're just seeing the few times it doens't in these videos. The biggest reason these wheels are so small is weight savings.
@@FastPaull Every class has a maximum weight. Any weight you can save, you can allocate yourself by using movable weights. If you don't know how stuff works, just yelling about how it doesn't make sense is not very productive.
The guy puts a tractor on its side at like 10mph and even though it’s not even resting on the ground some hysterical woman runs out like he has hit a wall doing 200 Earnhardt style. 🙄🙄
I saw that! I’m like, “Lady, he’s still in the seat and protected by the roll bar!” I guess she thought he got thrown out and was pinned under the tractor…
Hey Lightning McQueen, those round things, their call tires and they go under the car. Also, it worries me how many “professional” drivers don’t know how to shut their engine off when they flip, hit the wall, grenade, or otherwise catch fire. Hell I laugh when they try giving it a few more revs after it grenades. Like where the hell do you think you’re going?
Say hello to loose wheel, where are you been Lucille Rolling down the track you loose wheel lol thanks buddy, thanks BigAl California.praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
One thing i NEVER GOT IS the indoor pulls Theirs so much compression its no wonder the turbo blows an the engine says enough as well ..at 60.000 a motor id be like ..NOPE FOLKS POINTS AINT THAT PRECIOUS..just saying
Somebody should get a high school class to design some front suspension that doesn't snap off. It's absolutely pathetic how poorly engineered these silly tractors are... what, so they didn't realise that they might pull a wheelie? 😮
@@TheBandit7613- the axles just snap off. Seems they can design a drivetrain that can handle 10,000 HP, but they can't design a pair of stub axles that can support a couple of thousand pounds. 🤣 I don't really understand why they use the tiny wheels in the first place.... I can't find any rule that requires them. Irrespective, they just don't seem to know how to engineer that aspect properly.
Love how the guys packing the fire extinguishers are never ready😂
The whole thing seems ill-prepared and haphazard, including the machines. Hicksville
Dipshit (pretend) firies there....
Glad to see all the fire equipment supplied by the track is up to snuff😂😂
Always cracks me up to watch people try and use steering wheel when the front is airborn😂
It does look funny but i suppose that with it already turned when the front comes down it will grab and turn the vehicle the way they want it. I could be wrong.
@@hvyhaultruckingwithshuee watch the vid, did it ever happen that way? No they usually snap an axle or flip on their side...
there turning it to correct when it bump lands da

Oddly enough I bet they know more then you!! So just keep sitting on your couch!!
You sound like a little girl who is always screaming
@@seanalexander367 I doubt that - I spent several years as a track marshal and had to annual fire training.
@@seanalexander367so what do you have in your brain if you stand next to a fire and do f**in nothing although you have got a special Training for those moments???
They're never ever ready. It is ridiculous.
7:40ish had to put his own fire out. That's kinda sad , the track crew were clearly lacking.
You could tell he was not happy about it either. Pretty sad the other guy was just staring at it
I was just thinking the same. Literally said: "Geez, till the track crew has a fire extinguisher ready the tractor is completely burned down." and then the driver pulled out his own fire extinguisher and i was like: "Heh, if you want something to be done right..."
Yes track crew was worthless
Track crew wearing New Holland safety vests. They don’t care about his international.
Can clearly see the track guy on said fire had an empty extinguisher doesn't take much to notice it as to why he looks at the gauge on it
Just like so many other comments but got damn how can these people with the fire extinguishers be so UN prepared... ONE JOB 😂
That one Karen that's runs out there when her hubby dumps a tractor in its side...like he's gonna get hurt and like she's gonna flip tractor back over with her wittle fingers😅
IKR? The dude probably didn't even get a bruise. I remember Super Stockers and modifieds BEFORE they had roll cages!
Why is she a Karen? What did she do besides run out to see for herself if he was okay? Did she tell everyone what to do or cus anyone out? Maybe you don't have anyone that cares about you?
A atração deste evento é ver o motor dos
tratores estourando e pegando fogo.
😂😂😂😂
4:47 - “Uh-oh…” 🤣🤣🤣
The guy on the 8210 did some serious driving. He knew if he let out it would be on its side. Sometimes you just have to hammer down and ride it out.

Always seems to be an afterthought
Are you carrying the proper amount of air in the tires ?
Tractor tires use about one psi for each inch of tire width.

Two dozen Krispy Kreme donuts: official breakfast of the tractor-pull safety staff.
Nice video man!
Fire crew is scuuuuurd
What is being dumped out of the 2 hoses on the bottom of the rigs? 13:20 very obvious on this clip
This guy is doing all the work himself,, pulling the side panels off of his international and all that the official official is just standing there 7:23 watching the fire and basically roasting marshmallows
Thats because every one of these tractors are hand built and most are not the same
I don’t care what anyone says the drag cart is still the winner every time lol
Is this one of them BYOFE events? (bring your own fire extinguisher )
1:16 the Girlfriend! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Too good

Why is the exhaust pipes going into a weird tube?
It’s to vent them exhaust outside because they are in a indoor environment
are front wheel bearings that expensive?
The axles break, not the bearings.
Think its wierd to see the drivers in Firesave suit.
And the marshals, flaggers a
in a tshirt, 😮
Those runaway wheels should be credited for a full pull.
The sled has to go out the gate to be a full pull
9:05 So perfect that the Ford emblem comes loose...
And all the Chevys are blowing up.
Actually, it didn’t come loose. There was a part that hit it and knocked it loose.
Ummm, isn't that the definition of "came loose"?@@Wally-x8c

8:58 Love the Ford emblem still hanging on with one fastener!
The first tractor is going to be featured in a reboot of the Green Acres TV show.
Shut it down Ricky and get him outta ther!
I’ve learned to not turn the steering wheel while the front end is up… 🤷♂️
If you ever want to see how not to use a fire extinguisher…go to a truck and reactor event!
I like it when you can see Thousands and Thousands of dollars go up in smoke and it wasn’t your money. Just saying.
I only watch it for the disasters
1 00 that tire and rim broke up
Hear me out. Two lanes, two tractors, two sleds. First one to 300 foot wins.
7:45 Oh, I see now, that’s what this thing does
Here before, it gets popular
Everyone is trying to steer using the wheel while their front tires are 4 feet off the ground. And it ruins everything when they come back down... You got to either use differential breaks for the rears or just pray it stays straight.
Every time you hit a brake you'll lose 5- 10 feet
I’ll never understand why everyone has a roll bar except the guys in the T buckets…
Different classes have different rules and requirements
1:20 Look out everyone, here it comes Wonder Woman to save the day!
2:35 I’m sorry but that window tint job is not acceptable on a truck that nice

12:25 What the hell was that??!
What if goodyear made a tire that throws the dirt very far from the to the side?? would you get a couple of yards??
Poor track conditions on most of them.
I love watching these expensive toy blow up and break down, LOL.

Definitely not the Safety Safari manning those fire Extinguishers.
A lot of these clips you can tell the have way way way to much air pressure in their tires tires should flex and grab instead of bounce getting off the line
They get their wheels cranked to one way or the other like they don't know which way it will go. Mark the steering wheel for straight.
these are old videos i have seen most theses before
fire crews need to have some training
Tractors need some kind of suspension on the front axel.
The small tractors and T buckets C cabs are such a waste of time.
People complain that they are not ready.. Well this is a compilation.
It is not that common to get fires in these events. I have been in them for years, many times, never seen a fire.

Tractor pull safety crews need training. And maybe a fire extinguisher.
9:25; "Why does that tractor look so weird?"
9:55; next tractor almost identical, blows two of three engines.
Thanks for muting the dam music.
Tractor pulling has to be the biggest waste of time, money, and resources. Why destroy these tractors? And not to mention it's boring AF.
Why are you watching it’s just a waste of your time
Same could be said about any type of racing
You're boring AF but glad you wasted your time.
The vehicle skin engine broke out!
They should at least have the pins already pulled on the extinguishers…
There should be some kind of understanding before the event to make sure it’s understood who going to be in charge of putting out a fire!!!!
How are they supposed to stand in the beer line and put out fires at the same time?
@@TheBandit7613 lol 😂 😂
4:31 HABEMAS PAPAM
The one guy with the extinguisher was useless. It was the wrong type. He looked at it after the fact. The driver had to put it out with his.
