That surprises me. I'd expect that tractor to have more grip and for the lowest gear range to be lower than the APC. Probably the same or more horsepower too and although difficult to tell from the video, it did look like he had the diff locks engaged.

Might be down to weight and why a hundred year old traction engine makes a tractor puller look stupid time and again

imagine the footprint of all that track would be in comparison the same for both vehicles, and if that's true I suppose it must be down to weight that gives the APC the edge?

Do you suppose Nissan would supply and fit a set of those?

Looking at that little Suzuki you might think those tracks might need a bit bigger engine to drive those
