20000lb. Hot Rod Semi Class Highlight Video

20000lb. Hot Rod Semi Class Highlight Video from the Madison Pull

[@1958johndeere620]

The best sounding engines anywere. Those 2 strokes are cool..

[@apismellifera1000]

Those semis sound wonderful, love the sounds of big diesel motors with big turbos going down the track. Makes my blood run cold. Like the one that ran the V12 Detroit diesel sounds almost industrial in some ways. 5 stars as well

[@BadAndUgly]

Raw POWER in these things, twisting the whole chassis from the torque!

[@82agwayldt11]

That 2nd truck with the Detroit 12v71tt sounded AWESOME!

[@ENYoriginal]

That first truck....am I listening to a Cummins M11E? Please specify what Cummins engine the first one had....cuz THAT WAS LOVELY!

[@Metsemakers007]

Nice vid.. but what kind of regulations/limitations do you guys have in the US? in europe the trucks are only allowed til 3500 rpm engine speed, and we have only a few classes til 12 tons weight. I wish that some of your trucks were also allowed here in the competitions..

[@Mitchd03]

HOLY HELL those things has a lot of torque!

[@SayHiToTheBadGuy]

I was at a tractor pull at the Allegheny Country fair in Maryland and that first truck 'Built For Business' pulled and the announcer said he has a 1200 something cubic inch motor, and 3600 horsepower.

[@Metsemakers007]

de amerikanen vind ik ook prachtige machines hoor, en vind t ook geweldig om te zien hoe ze die opgevoerd krijgen, maar vergelijk ook eens goed de verhoudingen van deze vrachtwagens, dan is een amerikaan toch heel wat meer machine. in Made is vorig jaar ook een peterbuilt geweest, en die verloor het toch zelfs van de MB's. ben je de 13e en 14e ook op t Made's powerweekend dan?

[@jgmagoo1]

@SayHiToTheBadGuy Stock Cummins KT-450's which were available from the factory in this model KW were 1,150 cubic inches, so 1,200 wouldn't be too difficult to obtain. I've also heard that some of the diesels used in pulling tractors are making 4,500-HP nowdays.

[@Metsemakers007]

I understand that these trucks are not streetlegal, but within the truckpulling in europe we have a lot of of regulations and limits for the trucks sadly enough. but what are the limits in the US? what's your max weight? and what is the max in rpm/ hp with the engines? or number of cilinders? that's what I mean, thanks for the reply..

[@suddenimpact01]

how can they shift a cabover? like this ... awesome!!

[@DDSeries92]

Hallo Metsemakers007, Ik ben de afgelopen 3 jaar regelmatig naar wedstrijden gegaan maar de Renault (Black Widow) heb ik dus nooit zien winnen. Het is wel een mooie truck met een prachtig geluid. Wij als Europeanen zijn vaak geneigd om naar de overkant te kijken en alles wat daar rijd mooi of bruut te vinden. Maar ik denk dat de Europese techniek verfijnder is. Maar een oude torpede is mooier dan een cab over, dat ben ik direct met je eens. Ik ben niet in Made maar zal er in Oss weer bij zijn.

[@farmertrg]

cool vid,i wish my truck had the same power as these

[@hiyadroogs]

The engine torque was so prodigious that it was twisting the chassis of the truck!

[@patchesutick]

those cabovers are cool,look at my 352 in ireland!!!great video

[@InexorableOne]

Wonder if they are all running nitrous? with that size of a motor I would imagine that's mostly turbo and injector work with head studs the size of pepsi cans

[@hcr403]

the semis are limited to a 20,000 pound max weight. but they do have some single turbo classes. these here are the 20k unlimited

[@rudeboyzero]

That's the torque from the engine twisting the chassis. Action and reaction...

[@gp40mc]

Why do some trucks make lighter smoke and others make darker smoke?

[@250XT]

WATS WITH THE POLSEN ON THE START TRUCK

[@erk409]

the first cummins was awesome.. you got power when ONE tire lifts from the grown. that frame needs fo be boxed of something, probably already done lol

[@xadmiral291x]

whats up with the "ghugging" idles?

[@Metsemakers007]

ik neem aan dat je hiermee op de black widow doelt de zwarte renault magnum met mack v8 blok ik weet niet zeker hoe vaak dat je bij deze wedstrijden bent maar ik heb deze wel al verschillende keren zien winnen ;-) echter na t komen van de MB van Rutchen heeft deze wel stevige concurrentie gekregen samen met de MAN van Van Berkel dat moet ik ook toegeven maar de iveco's en de volvo's vind ik anders ook best respectvol dat ze in deze klassen met een 6 cilinder lijn meekunnen tussen de v10 motoren

[@nchayfarmer]

thats actually the springs or the airbags giving on that side a frame on a truck will not normally twist I have seen trucks roll over and not twist the frame

[@mfsuper90]

wow thats a really long chain. most chains that we pull with are only two or three foot.

[@SayHiToTheBadGuy]

ive seen that first truck 'built for business' pull before, it has 3600 horsepower.

[@82agwayldt11]

u got that right, my man

[@violet2048]

He sure got it done.

[@geleia2000]

os ambientalistas piram com esse caminhão kkkkkk

[@PePe_FIN]

I like to eat hippies like this as a breakfast :)

[@hammerlane2]

top knotch video there ,driver felt like i was there...

[@SayHiToTheBadGuy]

skys the limit I guess, I have no idea. some of these trucks have 12 cylinders in them. I know the first truck in this video has 3600 horsepower. just what I remember from him pulling at the Allegheny County fair.

[@aleksankazakov]

Because it depends on how much disel fuel the engine burns.

[@DDSeries92]

What I want to say the European M.A.N, Mercedes Benz, Volvo, Iveco's and DAF might compete with the American Semis when pulling at approx 3000rpm. To develop the sport and make it reachable for the people with a tight budget the Dutch run at 2900rpm and the Italians at 4000rpm. Displacement is approx 18,5 liter (1100cu in). max# of cylinders is 12.

[@emtbd79]

u dont shift they have special clutches u put it in gear u want and u have to build up so much pressere before it will engage same as a pulling tractor that is why they have to bring the rpms up so much

[@thepretenda]

holy crap!!!! look at the PWARRRRAGH!!!

[@nchayfarmer]

no im saying a truck lay over on the interstate with a loaded trailer and the frame not twist

[@SayHiToTheBadGuy]

this is pretty much the unlimited class, these trucks are not street legal if thats what you were talking about.

[@FonghoulaForsure]

thats serious torque

[@ThundareRed]

probly the trucks u saw roll over were not using a shit load of torque to go somewhere.

[@45x45bw]

ah buddy, big fan of 1Pug too?

[@kimchiman1000]

MEAN machines!

[@nchayfarmer]

its not frame twist the frame on a truck will not twist and go back because of all the supports in it I have been to loaded tractor trailer wrecks upside down and cut the driver out and the frame be straight as a arrow

[@techmaven5900]

The first truck had a Cummins..Second sounded like a 12V71 Detroit and the third may have also been a Detroit.

[@denmarkguy1]

i never thought a semi could do that

[@IManOPERATOR]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ketd9]

wow thats one mean machine

[@sgttroyer]

the first guy who pulled was the best their ever was thats why hes the diesl doctor

[@DDSeries92]

@ Metsemakers007. Since the sport is started in the USA and Canada I do have a lot of respect for the American pullers. But in Europe they are not all losers or complete nitwits. I.e. in The Netherlands there is a truck in the 10,5 ton (approx. 23000lb) which engine is greatly engineered by the Mack co USA; As far as I know they never won a pull.

[@heathovc]

Those are Chuck Norris' Hot Wheels.

[@Durallymax]

thats because it has a 2 stroke V12 Detroit Diesel

[@bagzcs]

BUY a tripod for camera

[@jmecrg]

NO "thats actully ' a shit load of torque with an ass load of horsepower behind it . all channel frames are designed to twist . thats why most of your heavy duty trucks dont use box frames they are to rigid and will break

[@antonella21]

the thing was lifitng off the ground

[@TBWdracula2003]

good vid but get a tripod, damn lol

[@81broncoman]

Thats not pollution, its little bits of carbon, totally inert and harmelss.

[@nevrenufhp]

I'd venture to say Cat 3406.

[@KB3MMX]

WICKED !! DIESEL POWER !!!!
