The world's strongest Motorsport - the Heavy Modified Tractor Pullers at Füchtorf 2022 - by EUJS 

It is in "Fürchtorf-Germany"

Their rules and weights are different than over here in the US.

😂🤣👍

💯!!!

they need to stay off your lawn too right?

Being there is way diffrent, you can feel it and yes it is extremely loud. Ever been to a top fuel drag race? It's crazy how loud they really are in person.

Lol no way those blown v8’s make less noice than the neighborhood shit box. U can hear them start up way down the street let alone when they give it gas (I’m speaking on the tractors)

We agree!

and utilization of queen " we will rock you" : outstanding

There is one with 2 JD blocks. It is called Bits N Pieces, but it suffered a rear axle issue earlier in the 2022 season.

That's why tractor pulling in that corner of the planet is MUCH MORE popular than Drag racing. Our fellow drag racers here travel all over Europe for like a dozen events of which only a handful have a decent crowd. I can visit a tractor pull every summer weekend within 250 mls and never have less than 4000 spectators, most more like 8,000.

Sorry, I have to pull your "I know things about motors" card.

Stay childish at heart but keep an adult work ethic. This will take you far in life. Very far!

Well, if we could have figured that out, don't you think we would have? No, there are rules involved as committees have to approve what is considered safe. Radial engines are amazing, but they have come under scrutiny in the states. We do have to explore unknowns, but for the most part these vehicles need to weigh a certain amount. So this becomes function is how much power can we get versus how much it weighs versus the cost point versus the safety factor. Thanks for the comment, I like your thinking.

As you have rightly suggested, it's not possible within the rules. That said, and it's hard to believe, even in much lower powered classes, where four-wheel drive is allowed, most don't use it. It has to do with the way, the sled is hooked to the tractors. The chain from the sled to the hitch is in an angle and what happens when the tractor starts to pull, is the chain is actually pulling down the hitch. This transfers weight from the sled pan to the rear tires (making the sled lighter and the tractor heavier) and basically lifts up the front axle, leaving it with way less traction that the rear axle. So four-wheel drive tractor-pulling vehicles (like the 4wd trucks) have to be built so light in the back and most of their weight in front of the front axle you can easily lift those up in the back by hand. Those vehicles are maybe up to 2500 hp and have much smaller wheels in the back. Now with big rear tires and more power, the force lifting the front axle is much higher. With the front wheels just "scratching" the track surface, they actually cause the rear tires to have less traction, actually, so much it gives less traction overall. If you check this video, where they run 4WD tractors, you can see how little the FW assists helps them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-go79GyAFif0.html

Same at 5:12

No chance. 6:53, look at how soon the sled topped out! That tractor is tuned and pulls straight and fast. Appreciate a good tractor when you see one.

We've got a European and a Brazilian team on board (EU writing here). When I was a kid, I had a poster of Macin' Bacon on the wall :). Great times! If you meant garbage: Look what they did to the US Champ: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qEW-ygISZ00.html

I remember the Makin' Bacon Special. Bruce Hutcherson and 4 Rodecks. Pretty close dominant in the early 80's.

The music actually is one of the reasons, why they have over 20,000 people at the pull during the weekend. Huge party...

lols no country and western here and a lot less half assed tractors like in the 'merican pulling videos

i feel sorry for you

you seem scared and insecure

@@RV-jq5pb you seem illiterate and uneducated
