Yea, Julie said that the tractor pulled their RV out on Wednesday when it got stuck so who knows. Could be that the weight difference did it.

man I thought they were going to tear the front end off of the GMC.

Re: Duramax vs. Powerstroke, OffroadOnly Tractor Pull
While I believe that the Ford did what you said, there is no way that this accurately reflects a Ford vs. GM vs. Deere comparison. If the Ford had to pull both the Deere and the semi out, then this means that the Deere got stuck too. The only reason for this is that it could not get traction and sunk into the Carolina mud. I noticed that the Ford was 50’ away, while the Deere was 5’, how did ground conditions differ from these two locations? Also, was the GM lacking the power to perform the task, or was it just not able to get traction. If it was not able to get traction how did the tires compare, and was it a 4X4. There are big difference in traction and torque when trying to pull somebody out of the mud in 2 wheel drive vs. 4 low. Also sounds like the guys in the GMC didn’t know what the hell they are doing. Living in Colorado I pull at least 2-3 people out of the snow/ditch every year. Traction, not brute force is the key.
I’m not trying to say that one truck is or is not better than the other, but if you are going to skew the facts, it just shows a bias which discredits you. The reason we respect the Kilo races is that they reflect different boat manufactures capabilities under the exact same conditions. I bet you that I could beet both Fountain’s and OL’s entries if they were running 5” pitch props, vs. my 28”.
