YouTube - tank vs quadtrack



This is a CaseIH Quad-Trac tractor, one of the biggest made with 500hp and 1700lbft of tq. Its hooked up to a "Warthog" tank wtih a Rolls Royce turbo V8 with 1000hp.



The Case would have won if it weighed more, the tracks started slipping then it was all over :(
 
Cool vid Brandon.



My family actually started the small tractor company that eventually became Case IH.
 
ha yeah I saw that one! Drifting on snow is fun with tractors, I have done it. Drifting on asphalt with a tractor, now you are doing something.



At least someone likes the vid!

There is quite a bit to it and I don't know all the details. It's in some book that I would have to dig up and look into. It's on my dad's side. I'll check to see what I can find...
 
Please do, I am obsessed with IH and Case. I have most of the books and hope to one day buy back my grandads 1970? IH 966 with the cab option.

That looks like the tractor they had on Top Gear when they grew their own petrol.

Do you have a better link than youtube for that vid? the youtube one is crappy
 
Very cool Brandon. My grandpa has a 1940 something International H or M that I hope to get one day and restore. He also has others (used to be a tobacco farmer). Man have those tractors been used. But the older ones are so simple to work on.
