Runs good indeed! Is that a single or multiple turbo combination? How many cubic inches? Love the pulling tractors.

Cool!

I have never seen a diesel tractor shoot flames, what was causing that?

The rules are a single 3LM turbo, and an "A" pump. You go up to 640 cubic inches. Jones, the flame deal starts just as it comes up to speed. Then he starts the after cooler and the water injection opens up. It melts 30 pounds of ice in one pass. Before the water and the after cooler he was melting pistons.

It is fun to watch.....

Any RPM limits? We've got a single turbo, certain pump limitations(I'm not sure on the details) 3000 rpm limit class around here, 504ci limit. Still a lot of fun to watch without investing outrageous money. Lot of smoke and they have real good ground speed. I've got two good friends who pull in the class. They do very well at it!

Nevs,
There isn't a limit on rpm. He leaves the line at about 3600 to 3800. The pull in the video, he is in high gear/high side, the ground speed is pretty good.

Impressive!!!

Personally,I would rather watch tractors over the trucks. Seems like a lot more exciting
