That was interesting. What horsepower is the dozer rated at?

This raises a bunch of questions! That is a rare and very heavy dozer. I can't imagine the traction engine weighs near as much. And it looks like the cable is pulling up on the Case, which skews results. So, what's happening, or what was attempted? Were they both live? Was the tractor just trying to move the dozer? ?????

The dozer is not near as rare as the traction engine! That Case 150 is the only one in the world. Google Kory Andersen and Case 150 for lots of info on the beast. I just checked the weight of the 150.......75,000 lbs! You can also watch video of it pulling a 50 bottom John Deere plow.

Ha, for sure!

Pa used to tell the story of letting the sheep buck and the bull out on pasture. There often was a showdown.

You can draw your conclusion.

In my opinion, the heavier unit will always win, Gary.

As today's volunteer YT OSHA inspector , the loser is the cable and whomever it hits when it breaks.
I must be getting old.

In this case the winner was the crowd.
