Worst stuck pics

In a pulling contest, hp is irrelevant. A 1/2 hp motor properly geared to a heavy vehicle drivetrain will out pull a lighter vehicle every time. It won't pull very fast but it will out pull the lighter/less tractioned vehicle every time.

Those steamers produce tons of toque, and it's all low end. They produce maximum toque when completely stalled.

Another weight VS horsepower contest.

They don't get much bigger, or more stuck than this one...

Never seen one pulling a DRW tractor around. But this one comes up all the time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeDLX9hzPoA

The beauty of steam is the power increases with time as opposed to decreasing with internal combustion. That is why the JD was pulling the steamer first. Once the pressure came up the JD lost.

my father would say that they had enough horsepower and traction to pull anything that had 2 ends to it.

Ahhh, of course!!

I'm sure the hand of the Almighty had nothing to do with sending that dragline (earth altering machine) into the water, rendering it inoperable, and everything to do with getting it out and back into service.

Pretty cool seeing all those dump trucks hitched up, though.

They said the fleet of trucks weighed 2,400 tons. They must have left off a zero or two.

80 tons loaded and about 30 trucks. Seems right to me
