It says 3500 horsepower but I'm guessing 9000 horsepower plus knowing nothing about the big Russian V-12 diesel tank engines...The Hemi alone with just a 8-71 should make 2500-2700 horsepower..Its probably one of the most unique pullers ever built..The tractor is no more so Greta Thunberg should be happy.

The tractor was actually too heavy to join the next weight drop.
The "heavy" class in Europe has been constantly going down in weight from 9900 to now 8800 lbs. We have lost a lot of unique tractors over this and it didn't do the popularity any good at all.
I still claim it's because you couldn't buy the parts to build a winning tractor at 1-800 Horsepower and all those who didn't know where to get stronger ring & pinions and planetaries and some others dreaming that if they are good at 7700 lbs their step to 8800 lbs wouldn't be big and they could win there, too rallied to drop the weight.
Now on Mitas you again need those parts...

As for the horsepower: The Tansmash is pretty comparable in power with a good Allison and that Hemi wasn't the latest and greatest, so 7500 to 8000 is probably a pretty good estimate.

Ah - two bar rollcage: The SFI doesn't operated In Europe (well - they do but don't make much of a difference in court) so the ETPC teams years ago voted for a two-bar cage to be legal in all classes. Insurance is ok with it, they have not caused any issues... so it is what it is.
