Bumper-to-bumper pulling!

Of course I enjoyed that. If you put enough weight on the tractor I think it would have a chance.
Looked like the tank was being pulled to the ground and the tractor lifting the rear slightly, which would mean equal height on the chain connection would have helped the tractor.....

An M113 is about 25,000lb and has 275HP Detroit Diesel. How much weight and power do you think the tractor has?
24k and 498hp???

The drive sprockets on the APC are in the front so when it's under a load it will lift the front.
If they took the rubber pads of the APC's tracks that leaves steel shoes with 3" teeth(? Not the correct word).
There are easier was to stop an APC....I drove one for 4 years

Thats allowed weight not what the tractor actually weighs. With added weight it can weigh up to 52,000 + pounds and has around 375 hp at the ground. I think if the tractor is weighted properly and has a decent operator it would out pull the tank. JMHO.
