Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh my lord, this things have some vicious HP and TQ man, you know what's having 4 V8's, two ALLISON airplane v12 engines or better yet, 4 Giant jet turbines on a tractor, i don't wanna imagine those beasts on a tug-o-war with mining trucks,(battle of the Goliaths) both trannys can withstand a lot of pep, so it's really hard to say.
What do you think?
Who would get the title?





Or

It's still unsure, "The General" super tractor has 4 jet turbines, each can easily pull about 15,000 pounds, multiply that times 4, then it'll leave you wondering.
But it's simple, they just have to do it to see who would win.

i don't know who would win but i would love to see it. Some one should set this up.
I think that you guys are taking this all wrong though. it's not the weight that really matters it's the friction. The tractor would have less friciton and wouldn't be able to tow the mamoth 797 because it's tires would be moving at an alarming rate while the tractor isn't going anywhere. The jets would provide some force but not enough because the 797 has a lot more wheight which means it has less of a tendency to move. Assuming that the tires are at least of a fair quality it would have a lot more traction so it would be able to move the tractor like it was a paper weight dispite the 4 jet engines. it also would depend on the surface if you where on dirt or concrete
here's the better question. What kind of chain could you find to set up this tug of war that wouldn't snap?
If anyone ever sets this up (which i seriously doubt anyone would lend out there jet propelled tractor and mining equipment) please put a video on you tube and send me the link i'm really interested in the outcome and the raw power involved.
Oh and if anyone could find the mass or weight, and force or power of these two vehicles i'd apreciate that.

My vote's on the Allison V12. You can't help but love the P-51 Mustang (why Ford had to design a shitty car with the same name is beyond me).
