This year the Marias Fair hosted a tractor pull and being that we live so close to the fairgrounds we decided to bring down some tractors and give it a try at the sled. BIG BRUTE also gave it a try and did very well except for a sudden downshift at the end that snapped an axle shaft. We probably won't run the BRUTE again in the future but thought it was fun giving it a run at least once.
The sled weighs 45,000lbs and has hydraulic spikes that shoot into the ground for added resistance as well as brakes that can lock up. For our Buds they put on a tow strap so the tractors could not lift the front of the sled up which greatly increased the resistance. You can see just how hard that sled was to pull! Our 525/50 weighs around 52,000 lbs and could just barely keep pulling the sled under max resistance. If we had another 10,000-15,000 lbs the tires likely would not have spun as much and it would have kept going.
