Hey nice piece of work! I bet those bespoke looking reduction gear boxes weren't cheap!

👍🤩

Did I just hear the peddling of 4 turbine engines off the line??? I thought those things were wide open or not at all?? That was cool to watch👍👍

[@MrMiki19]

It was his first time hooking to a sledge with it. Baby'd it off the line a little

[@timtorkelson7201]

Been to MANY pulls over the years,though cool,usually see 4 blown engines out pull the turbines??

[@burtbrooks7731]

@@MrMiki19 that’s understandable I been watching pulling since a kid back in the hay days of the Indy super pull and still amazes me them guys can even get 1 to run not to mention 4 🤯 and the engineering to make it all work is absolutely awesome

[@floatingfinish2211]

can you speed up the starting process? This would usually be a DQ for being over 3 min...

[@MrMiki19]

It was the first time they had started the tractor so we're given some extra. They were quicker the following day

[@kevinwhitecross]

Also, turbine tractors are allowed 6 minutes due to their starting times

Yeh the turbine power machines draw interest but I don't think they have the torgue as piston driven engines have
