"Have you ever heard of competitive tractor pulling?"
Why yes, you have already discussed it once already in this video.

Those were clearly NOT the most catastrophic tractor pull engine failures, those were pretty tame. The last one wasn't even an engine fail. In a 'good failure' engine parts, sometimes very large parts, eject upwards 10 or more feet!

"Have you ever heard of this thing that we have already spotlighted on this video?"

Diesel runaway is nothing to sneeze at. They just don’t go to their limit, they can go well beyond depending on the external fuel source.

I knew a guy who worked on nuclear subs in the Navy. A blower shaft seal failed on a Fairbanks Morse powered diesel generator and the engine ran away on the lube oil that leaked into the intake. They had a piece of sheet metal intended to stop the engine by blocking the blower intake, but it was sucked into the engine and it didn't miss a beat. They finally got it stopped using fire extinguishers. He said it took more than one.

Intentionally making a failure happen for the purpose of testing the item constitutes it not being a failure to begin when the item passes the test.

[stevecurran]

your description of torque and horse power is incorrect. Torque is a measure the machines ability to do work. horse power is a measure of the RATE work can be done.

😂😂😂looks like “ master shredder” lived up to its name😂😂😂

[tomfurgas]

I remember reading a report that stated that an accident was caused by energetic disassembly followed by rapid oxidation.

Always some great clips! And narration that keeps it interesting!

As a kid, I used to see Tractor pulls in the Tacoma Dome. The most awesome stuff I've ever seen besides my children being born.😊

1:00 Hey, Frank....have you seen my wrench? I had it just a minute

[TVK_Idiotwork]

*These unbelievable scenes made me very impressed and excited, the images and video comments are very good. LIKE a lot, guys*

[boataxe]

Well golly! That done blowed up real good! I gotta show this to my cousin/wife!

A fair amount of tractor pull failures are due not to engine problems but to balance problems. Those back wheels generate insane amounts of torque, which pushes the front end off the ground. That's balanced by weights in the front. Add too much weight, and the back wheels lose traction and you lose distance. Add too little weight, and your front ends up taking off, slamming into the ground, and breaking the front wheels, ending your run quite abruptly. Ideally, you see the front wheels bounce *gently, * just enough to keep steerage. The last segment was an example of an underweighted tractor.

The second tractor failure was a belt breaking. At that level of torque that'll quickly shred the engine. The first one, well... that happens a *lot* in tractor pulling. These engines are pushed to their limits. Even the slightest thing goes wrong under load, they'll shred themselves.

Thank you for doing your research on this video. I see a lot of these vids where the VO just says the stupidest things that don't even apply to what I'm watching. This one is so much better. Sub for that.

8:11 It looks like the frame flexed and allowed the bottom pulley to hit the frame, shredding the drive belt for the supercharger.

[RedMartyr]

2:49 looks like you only got a V6 there buddy lol

[kevinvoyer]

Very entertaining and informative. However I need to correct one message. You stated hp equals work done? But it’s actually torque that get work done and horsepower that equals the speed at which you attain.

[GregSr]

Enjoyed the videos and the real narration. My "BS" detector was never set off.
