Ahoy 2010 Black Widow USA 4,5t Pull off

[@octane613]

Tractor pulling has got to be the most bat-shit insane racing sport. "Hmm... I have 5 3000hp blown V8's. I know, lets tape them together and strap some wheels on them!" Same goes with the jet powered ones. I fucking love this sport.

Those pry bar things are starting bars,the other engines are used to start any engines that have stop running,they pull back on the bar to cause the clutch to engage on the non running engine causing it to turn over and start.

Direct drive, similar to inboard boat engines. There is a clutch assembly in there somewhere, and a giant case where all the shafts mate up with a monstrous ring and pinion style differential.

[@rahbek85]

Locking up the glider clutches... They start the top engine with an external starter and then revs that one up and locks in the 2 engines on one side to start those and then locks up the 2 on the other side to start them...

[@InTheDogHouse3DPrinting]

I have always loved watching these unlimited tractors do pulls. I used to go to them in Texas when I was a kid.

[@jeffsteadman2794]

It's just engine compression that passes past the piston rings and trys to pressurize the crank case, its called blow-by.. they dont have pcv valves so they use this type of blow off. its called road draft pcv.

[@thegreatbamboozler4837]

This is handy when your potatoes REALLY, REALLY won't come out of the ground!

[@dagomachining1]

on high compression engines like these blown alcohols, those 8 pistons are generating a lot of crankcase pressure via blow-by ( pressure passing the piston rings into the crankcase after ignition). you have to bleed it off or the pressure will build and either it will try to go back the way it came in, or blow oil out of you valve covers. to relieve the pressure, either a hole was placed in the crankcase itself or two tubes coming down from the valve covers merge to one and dump underneath.

[@John-oe5nb]

Just listening to it, I would say that the #4 cylinder on engine #2 was 5 pounds low on compression.

[@joninawhitecoat]

You noticed that as well?

[@John-oe5nb]

Jon I would, actually, like to do this. They used to come to our town, but that was years ago. I guess they did not have the attendance to sustain it. We still get the monster trucks, but no tractor pulls.

[@ericjohnson8482]

Those engines have no cooling system, the piece you are talking about is the guard for the blower belt. They are solid blocks and run for such a short period of time they tend to not overheat, the tolerances are also looser, notice the blow by out of the tubes below the oil pan.

what I heard is that the engines run on methanol and that is cooling the motor down. so they don't need any other coolant.

[@MrCarnutbill67]

Its hard enough to get one blown methanol engine running properly, I can't imagine tuning 5.

[@porksword2]

The vents you see is just crank case ventilation. All cars have them but normally use a PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system that recycles it back through the engine for emissions. There is no cooling because they run on alcohol which flows so much fuel it actually runs cool. After a pass the blowers will actually be frosted over.

[@sarcspark7678]

[@mrknotthall]

[@thaicheese]

Can someone explain to me why it is so easy for the tractor to pull at first but seems to become more encumbered the further it goes? Does the trailer dig more into the ground the further it travels?

[@whitez35]

If you look at the sled in the video, the weight starts at the rear and moves forward as he pulls making the sled harder to drag.

[@kctyphoon]

the weight thats on the trailer slides - so the further they pull, the closer the weight gets to the back of the tractor. the closer the weight is, the harder it is to pull.

[@slowpoke96Z28]

It doesn't "dig" perse, but drag. The friction goes up as the weight presses the sled into the ground harder as it moves forward, making it harder to drag along.

[@schneiderlisa38]

more than likely, the front tires on this tractor are aircraft tires with a heavy ply rating like 15 or 20.

They actually don't have to be in sync at all. There is no way to keep them firing exactly the same or have exactly the same power output, if that's what you're asking.
