Truck and Tractor pulling, a popular motorsport in the United States, Europe, Australia, Brazil, and New Zealand, requires tractors to pull a heavy sled along a 35-foot wide, 330-foot long track. The sport's winner is decided by which tractor pulls the sled farthest, with multi-engined modified tractors contributing to its reputation as the world's most powerful motorsport. Each tractor class has a set weight in the sled, and full pulls occur when tractors reach the end of the 100-meter track. When multiple tractors complete the course, more weight is added, and pull-offs decide the winner based on who can pull the sled the furthest. The weight transfer sled's resistance increases as weight moves over its metal pan, making pulling progressively harder. Powerful tractors like Europe's 4.5 modified class can produce over 10,000 horsepower and have dimensions of around 5207mm in length, 2300mm in width, and 2035mm in height; they were designed using Solid Works 2012 and rendered in Keyshot 5.0.99.
