[Jesterarts]

It's a drag racing tractor by the look of it.

The front wheels on those things are hilarious!

[f1tzy]

The 1st one is like the mother of all radial engines

[Kal123]

Whoa, that's just ****ing ridiculous, but so cool.

[Zeussy]

Man, I'd be scared to sit behind some of these things, lol..

And LOL at the front wheels, although most of the time, they're off the ground anyway?!!

[Kal123]

Tractor pulling I think not tractor drags. These thing are built for pulling heavy weights.

[JT Ute]

[HARVZ-6]

they tow a massive sled, the further they get the more force it applys to the ground making it harder


awesome to watch!

[tivoom]

The thing I want to see is the size of the dyno and how the hell do they keep it on there

Just imagin the look on the kids face at super cheap when you ask for a service kit for a 42 cyl radial

[SweetWagon]

LOL at everyone in the crowd blocking their ears!

[VNexecutive]

[old mate]

diesel tractor pulls are madder, turn the place black. you can see the greenies melting haha.
